High court grants bail to six vandals
Meanwhile, the High Court on Monday granted bail to six accused, who were taken in custody for allegedly vandalising the actor’s residents, even as the police tightened up security at Allu Arjun’s house
The incident led to a major war of words, with the BJP joining hands with the BRS and slamming the Congress government in the state. The party alleged that some of the miscreants belonged to the Kodangal assembly constituency of CMA Revanth Reddy.
The six vandals, claiming to be members of Osmania University – Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC) were nabbed after they allegedly damaged flower pots of the actor’s residence and threw tomatoes on Sunday evening.
