Mareddy Ranga Sai Reddy
Telangana CJP activist who said he was detained on the train.
“At the railway station, along with the 40 officers, there were 30 more constables and many more in plain clothes. They had photographs of us from the beginning, and they tracked us from the moment we got on the train in Secunderabad. From the railway station, we were transported to an IPS officer’s guest house. We were all locked up in a single room, and two police constables were inside the room with us, never leaving us from their sights.”

“Instead of releasing us then and there, they booked us train tickets to Warangal and stayed on the train with us until we crossed MP. They tried to scare us, but they could not do so.”
