Andhra MP Arrested by CID-AP for Sedition, Hate Speech from Hyderabad

Hyderabad: K Raghurama Krishnam Raju was arrested in Hyderabad by AP’s Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Friday on charges of sedition, disturbing communal harmony, and attacking dignitaries of the AP Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy government, the AP police said in a statement. Mr. Raju was arrested from his residence in Hyderabad

Mr. Raju had, on April 27, asked a special CBI special court to cancel the bail granted to Jagan Mohan Reddy in a disproportionate assets case from 2012. He had claimed that the Chief Minister had violated the bail provisions.

AP police issued a statement after his arrest said a preliminary inquiry against the MP “found that through his speeches on regular basis Mr. Raju was indulging in systematic, schematic effort to cause tensions among the communities and by attacking various government dignitaries in a way which will cause loss of faith in the government which they represent”.

Mr. Raju has been charged under Sections 124A (sedition), 153A (Promoting enmity between different groups), and 505 (conducing public mischief).

Mr. Raju had quit the YSR Congress several years ago and joined BJP and also TDP at various times and returned to the TRS party just before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
