According to Punjagutta inspector K Ashoka Chakravarthy, the novelist, a native of Nalgonda, came to the city to release his book `Mana Telugu Talli'. He invited veteran journalist A B K Prasad and others to release his book.
After the book release, as Chakravarthy was replying to queries posed by mediapersons, Telangana Youth Forum president Raghu Rami Reddy and his father Narasimha Reddy and another person, Lakshman, landed at the venue and alleged that the book "insulted Telangana people and hurt their sentiments.'' The trio forced their way to the dais and took the book from the author's hand and flung it.
The Punjagutta police reached the spot and took the three persons into custody. Later, cases were registered under sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC against the trio.
