YSRC Activists Detained for Online Offences
Two people who work with the YSR Congress Party were stopped at airports in India.
One is Arjun Reddy, who is related to the party's leader.
The other is Battala Srinivasulu Reddy.
They were taken into custody because they are accused of doing bad things online, like sharing fake pictures of important people and saying mean things about them.
Arjun Reddy is also in trouble for something worse, maybe even connected to a murder.
The police had been looking for them and finally caught them when they came back to India.
Additionally, 11 other people were arrested for posting mean things online about a local leader.
Arjun Reddy, a YSR Congress Party activist and relative of party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, was detained at Shamshabad Airport.
Battala Srinivasulu Reddy, another YSRC social media activist, was detained at Kadapa Airport.
Both are accused of posting abusive content and morphing images of political figures.
Arjun Reddy is facing multiple cases, including one related to the murder of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy.
Police issued a lookout circular for both activists and detained them under Section 41A of the Criminal Procedure Code.
