A letter from Yedla Kishore, an activist of the Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika and lodged in jail, to a judge, seeking to know the number of cases filed by the police against him would have gone unnoticed if not for the Ranga Reddy district judge, who received the letter and promptly forwarded it to the Telangana Government to send a reply.
The reply to the letter brought out another case filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) at the Tadvai Police station of Mulugu district, which named 152 people, including leaders of various mass organisations and academics such as Kishore and Ghanapuram Chandramouli of the Patriotic Democratic Movement (PDM), on August 19, 2022.
