Overview
- The Guntur Excise Court on Wednesday granted bail to the senior YSRCP leader in the case linked to a November 2025 demonstration, following a 14-day remand ordered on Monday in the same matter.
- He had already secured bail on Monday in a separate case over alleged derogatory remarks against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
- Officials said he remains in Rajahmundry Central Prison for now and is expected to be released on Thursday, subject to formalities.
- Police allege he led an unauthorised rally, abused and threatened officers, and pushed through barricades, with charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for obstruction, wrongful restraint, criminal intimidation, and unlawful assembly.
- YSRCP leaders who visited him in prison condemned the actions as political targeting and claimed leniency toward people accused of attacks on his property, assertions that remain their allegations.
