Hyderabad, Dec 12 (UNI) BJP Legislative Party leader Eleti Maheshwara Reddy was arrested on Friday after staging a protest at the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) head office, opposing the reported allocation of public funds for the proposed exhibition football match involving international star Lionel Messi and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s team.
Police shifted Eleti Maheshwara Reddy from the protest site to the BJP state office before detaining him along with several party workers. They were later taken to the Begum Bazaar police station.
