Hyderabad: Nine members of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) were arrested in connection with the vandalism on Nizamabad Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Dharmapuri Arvind’s residence at Banjara Hills in the city on Friday.

The arrests were made on Saturday. Later, they were produced before the magistrate and the court granted bail to all of them. The police have booked the TRS members for trespass intimidation, damage to property, and manhandling. The police also said they had no clue of an attack on the BJP leader’s house.

Earlier on Friday, the TRS members staged a dharna outside Arvind’s residence in Hyderabad and protested the BJP leader’s alleged remarks that TRS MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha was considering joining the Congress party. These remarks angered the TRS workers who went to Arvind’s residence at Banjara Hills and vandalised it.

Meanwhile, the TRS leader Kavitha rejected the statement of BJP leader D Arvind and threatened him to not speak against her and her family otherwise, he would get a thrashing from people in his own Nizamabad constituency.
