Former Telangana Media Director Detained by Police

Konatham Dileep, the former director of Telangana's digital media, was taken into custody by Hyderabad Cyber Crime police, sparking allegations of political vendetta from the ruling BRS party. Dileep's detention occurred without any clear explanation or charges, leading to protests from BRS leaders who accused the Congress government of stifling dissent. His arrest is believed to be linked to a reposted video regarding communal unrest in Jainoor, which escalated following a case of alleged rape and attempted murder. BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned the police action, asserting that there has been no freedom of speech in Telangana for months. Dileep expressed gratitude to his supporters after his release, emphasizing the importance of the ongoing struggle for Telangana's interests. The situation surrounding his arrest raises concerns about the use of law enforcement to suppress political opposition in the region.
