Hyderabad: TRS leader K Chandrashekhar Rao was taken into preventive custody even as the three-day ‘rail roko’ movement over the Telangana agitation began on Saturday.
His daughter and son KTR Rao are also in preventive custoday.
In view of the rail roko campaign, 124 trains were cancelled. Several protesters were detained for trying to block tracks.
Telangana Congress MPs on Friday asserted that they would participate in the 'rail roko' scheduled to be held in the region for three days from Saturday in support of the separate statehood demand, despite appeals from the party not to do so.
While DGP Dinesh Reddy has warned Telangana activists against disrupting rail services or damaging property, the state government has received reports that Telangana activists may resort to violence if stopped.
