Strangely enough, the police arrested TDP’s Pattabhi, Donthu Chinna, and 11 others following the attack on TDP office in Gannavaram yesterday.
Incidentally, Pattabhi’s wife had been stating that he had been missing since the Gannavaram riot yesterday and threatened to sit on indefinite hunger strike if she isn’t provided the details of Pattabhi’s whereabouts.
Hours later, the AP police bought Pattabhi, Donthu Ramesh and the 11 other arrested TDP leaders to Gannavaram court. This happened just a short while ago.
While arriving at the court, Pattabhi alleged custodial torture by the police as showed his swollen forehand to the media.
