As part of this, the police made house arrests of PCC chief Revanth Reddy, CLP leaders Bhatti Vikramarka and Shabbir Ali. However, the leaders who came out of the house arrest protested outside the gate of the Vidyut Soudha and demanded a reduction in electricity charges.

While only the leaders were allowed inside the office, Congress activists raised concerns outside the gate that led to further tensions.
