BRS sources said the police arrived at Srinivas’s residence at around 5 am on Thursday, to arrest him. They stated that the police had neither issued a notice nor a warrant nor notice was issued as per law.
Following a call from the family members, several BRS leaders and the party legal cell members too reached his house and condemned the police action. They demanded the police to produce an arrest warrant or leave. A heated argument ensued between the police and the BRS cadre, even as others stood guard to prevent the police from entering Srinivas’s flat. However, the police managed to arrest Srinivas and took him to the police station.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Srinivas termed his arrest under false charges as an attempt to stifle the opposition voices by the Congress government. He declared that he would continue to question the government on its false promises and failed policies, notwithstanding the cases filed against him. He questioned the need for the police to knock on his door at around 4 am to arrest him and terrorize his family.
Meanwhile, BRS working president KT Rama Rao, senior MLA T Harish Rao, and several other leaders condemned the arrest and demanded his immediate release. They said the Congress government is strategically arresting the BRS leaders during holidays, to deprive the latter an opportunity to approach the courts for justice.
