Hyderabad: The arrest of Gaddam Sriram, LLB student and leader of the Osmania University Students’ Joint Action committee (JAC), by the Manthani (Karimnagar district) police, sparked protests on the campus on Sunday. Students staged demonstrations and burnt the effigy of Minister for Civil Supplies D Sridhar Babu suspecting his hand behind the arrest. Demanding his release within 24 hours, they threatened to intensify the protest if the police failed to respond positively.
Sriram's wife V S Swarupa, a student of English and Foreign Languages University (Eflu), filed a writ petition in the AP High Court on Thursday. She complained that her husband was implicated in a false case by the Karimnagar police at the behest of the minister as he was critical of Sridhar Babu’s activities.
Sriram had even gone to the extent of distributing pamphlets on the illegal activities of the minister. She feared threat to her husband's life from the minister and the police.
