Telangana: TRS men attack YS Sharmila convoy in Warangal

HYDERABAD: YS Sharmila, president of the YSR Telangana Party president YS Sharmila was on Monday taken into custody by police at Lingagiri village of Warangal following a pitched-battle between YSRTP and TRS cadre. She was later shifted to Hyderabad.

Tension prevailed in the village where Sharmila was conducting padayatra. A group of TRS workers allegedly attacked her convoy protesting her alleged comments against TRS legislator from Narsampet Peddireddy Sudershan Reddy.

Sharmila on Sunday during her Padayatra accused Reddy of extorting money from people, grabbing land, and threatening contractors. TRS workers targeted Sharmila's convoy on Monday and tried to torch a bus she used for resting. The YSRTP workers resisted the TRS workers' attack, resulting in clashes between the two groups.
