But then, all of sudden, such a move came from Telangana government. Bojja Ravikanth, a native of Kesharajupalli village in Nalgonda reportedly shared a photo of the Telangana CM on the Facebook, which is said to be highly disrespectful.

A case was registered by the local police based on a complaint filed by a TRS leader from Manyamchelka, Kathula Ramesh. Based on the complaint, the Nalgonda police arrested Ravikanth and produced him before a court in the district. It has to be seen how the media responds on this.
