After midnight on Wednesday in Karimnagar, Bandi Sanjay Kumar was arrested in advance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the state. According to reports, a police force traveled to the MP’s home in Karimnagar and arrested him.

The office of Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar stated in response to the arrest that the detention of Bandi Sanjay in the SSC paper leak case is “completely undemocratic” and that there is a “clear-cut conspiracy” behind the entire episode.
“Police arrested Telangana State President Bandi Sanjay Kumar late at night from his residence in Karimnagar. Officially, the Police have not yet disclosed why he was detained. There is an evident conspiracy throughout the entire episode. Bandi Sanjaya’s detention is completely undemocratic. As a result of the BRS government’s diminishing public credibility, they are engaging in these antics. This paper leak is a clear failure on the part of the BRS administration, said Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s office to media.
