On Thursday evening, TDP chief and Leader of the Opposition N. Chandrababu Naidu condemned the arrest of 73-year-old senior journalist Kollu Ankababu by CID police for forwarding a news report against the YSRCP government on WhatsApp. The cops transferred him to the Guntur CID office.

In a letter written to the DGP, Chandrababu informed him that Ankababu has no political affiliation and stays neutral. “Moreover, he is a diabetic and BP patient. His wife is also suffering from various ailments,” he mentioned. He warned that Police Department would be made responsible if anything happened to Ankababu.

In his complaint, Chandrababu claimed that the CID arrested Ankababu in violation of Supreme Court orders. In plain clothes, CID cops arrested him without serving a notice under 41A; he slammed and demanded Ankababu's immediate release. Atchannaidu, the president of the AP TDP, also condemned the arrest of the journalist.
