The police took into custody six Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLAs, who included party State president K. Atchannaidu, when they tried to march towards the Prohibition and Excise (P&E) Commissioner’s Office, at Prasadampadu, near here, on Wednesday.
The party had earlier given a call to lay a siege to the commissioner’s office in protest against the “death of 27 persons after consumption of spurious liquor at Jangareddygudem in West Godavari district between March 6 and 15.”
The police prevented the TDP leaders from entering the commissioner’s office along with their followers.
