The YSR Congress Party has condemned the recent arrest of Karumuri, labeling it a politically motivated vendetta.
Earlier this week law enforcement officials took Karumuri into custody on charges that have not been fully disclosed. The arrest was carried out in accordance with procedural requirements, but details of the alleged offence remain limited in public statements.
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) immediately issued a strong rebuke, describing the detention as a clear act of political vendetta aimed at undermining the party’s leadership. Party spokespersons asserted that the move was intended to intimidate opposition figures ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
Party officials called for the immediate release of Karumuri and urged the judiciary to intervene, emphasizing that due process must be upheld without partisan interference. The YSRCP also appealed to senior government authorities to ensure a transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
The incident adds to a growing pattern of political friction in the state, with opposition parties accusing the ruling establishment of using law‑enforcement agencies as tools for political gain. No further legal action has been reported as of now.
