YouTuber Chintapandu Naveen Kumar alias Teenmaar Mallanna was arrested for alleged derogatory comments against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, his son and IT Minister KT Rama Rao and daughter MLC K Kavitha.
The Telangana Police arrested YouTuber Chintapandu on March 21 night from the office of his channel Q News office in Peerzadiguda.
Acting on several complaints lodged at various police stations for Mallanna’s alleged derogatory comments against KCR and his family on his YouTube channel, the cops arrested him.
A complaint was filed against Teenmaar Mallanna by Telangana Jagruthi member Naveen Goud, with the LB Nagar police for making defamatory comments against Kavitha and Rama Rao.
Goud’s complaint demanded immediate action be taken against. It also called for the ban of the channel.
The case was registered on the outskirts of Hyderabad under the limits of Rachakonda police commissionerate under Sections 505 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and started the investigation.
Meanwhile, commenting on the Youtiver’s arrest, Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay strongly condemned the arrests of Mallanna. Sanjay also paid a visit to Mallanna’s residence on March 21 night and assured full support the family.
Bandi attacked Chandrasekhar Rao, saying that democracy is under threat under the rule of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
The Telangana BJP chief alleged that KCR was trying to distract the public after his son’s name cropped up in the paper leakage issue and daughter’s role in alleged Delhi Liquor Policy Scam.
“Democracy is under threat in Telangana. Let’s Save Democracy ! KCR is digging his own grave by stifling the voices which are questioning his tyranny. Earnest request to media organisations not to budge into the pressure of BRS govt,” tweeted Sanjay after the visit.
“Visited Teenmaar Mallanna garu & Telangana Vittal Garu’s residences & spoke to their family members following their undemocratic arrest by Telangana police. Assured to stand by the families. Are these police or BRS goons ? CM is resorting to these tactics after his son’s role came out in the paper leakage issue and daughter’s role in Liquor Scam,” he added and demanded immediate release of both of them unconditionally.
