There seem to be some vicious campaign going on around the Kapu agitation. Mudhragada Padmanabham was finally arrested by Police yesterday evening. But all of a sudden, there is an SMS Campaign stating that Mudhragada consumed Pesticide while Police tried to arrest him. The Messages asked Kapu Brothers to come on roads and teach the government a lesson.
As a precautionary measure, Police have shifted Padmanabham to Rajamahendravaram Government Hospital and conducted all the tests on him. The doctors declared that the news is wrong and he is doing well. His sugar levels are however down because of the fasting since morning. Mudhragada reportedly co-operated with the doctors.
Security is beefed up near Rajamahendravaram Government hospital to make sure no untoward incident happen. Police have jammed all cell phone towers in the surrounding areas to prevent rumours from spreading. Home Minister Chinnarajappa is monitoring the entire situation and is posting to the Chief Minister on a regular basis.
