WATCH: Hyderabad Police Detain YS Sharmila For Protesting Against Atrocities On Women By Ruling BRS

From Tank Bund she was initially shifted to Bolaram Police Station and later was dropped at her residence 'Lotus Pond'

YSRTP President YS Sharmila has been taken into preventive custody for staging a protest against the ruling BRS on their atrocities against women on International Women's Day in Hyderabad's Tank Bund.

From Tank Bund she was initially shifted to Bolaram Police Station and later was dropped at her residence 'Lotus Pond'.

Earlier, Sharmila said that women are not respected during KCR’s rule in the state. “It is evident that KCR fears Sharmila. Since my padayatra crossed 3,000 km milestone, KCR’s goons have been trying to foil this. Women are not respected in Telangana. Ruling party leaders using derogatory language against me since I entered politics and began padayatra," the YSRTP leader told ANI.

“Just because we are taking it up does not mean you demean women to such an extent. We have decided today to go to the Women’s Commission and give a complaint,” she added.

Telangana Police in February detained YS Sharmila for allegedly making inappropriate remarks against the Mahabubabad MLA and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Shankar Naik.
