Five Osmania University Joint Action Committee (JAC) leaders were arrested by the Osmania University police on Tuesday. OUJAC leaders Pidamarthi Ravi, Rajaram Yadav, G Kishore, Balaraj Yadav and K Praveen Reddy were taken into custody by Task Force at Appa junction while they were returning after a programme in Vikarabad.
"The leaders have been booked for their involvement in several violent incidents on the campus between January and July. They were involved in rioting, torching buses, damaging public property and other incidents," said police inspector D Ashok. The OU police said they would be produced in court on Wednesday.
The arrest invited widespread criticism from TRS and the Telangana political JAC. "I demand the immediate release of OU students. Cases are being foisted against them for no fault of theirs. We condemn the undemocratic arrest of students," said TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao.
Condemning the arrest of student JAC leaders by police, Telangana JAC questioned the undemocratic methods being adopted by the police. "We strongly condemn the arrest of the student JAC leaders by plain clothes policemen," said TJAC chief Kodandaram.
