Telangana: BJP state unit chief detained ahead of PM Modi's visit
Hyderabad/IBNS: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s president Sanjay Kumar was detained by police last night days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state, media reports said.
The BJP has moved the Telangana High Court alleging Kumar was arrested "illegally" and "without any valid reason".
Fear is real in BRS.!

First they stop me from conducting press meet & now arrest me late in night.
My only mistake is to Question BRS govt on its wrong doings.
Do not stop questioning BRS even if I am jailed.

Kumar was arrested at around 11 pm on Tuesday.
The BJP supporters had staged a sit-in protest outside the police station demanding Kumar's release.
Slamming Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya tweeted, "In a midnight operation, Telangana police has arrested BJP state President Bandi Sanjay Kumar on fabricated charges of being involved in secondary school paper leak. This won’t end well for KCR."
