Arrest first, court papers later
BRS leader Manne Krishank was taken into custody in Hyderabad after a social-media case; the reported remand rejection and custody chronology remain murkier than the official paperwork should allow.
The custody chronology remains disputed while the official paperwork catches up.
BRS social-media convenor Manne Krishank was taken into custody at his Hyderabad residence around 5 a.m. on September 18, after being questioned and released the previous day in a case linked to a social-media post. He was moved to the Central Crime Station, according to reports. [1]
The reported sequence is less tidy than the police action. A report said a Nampally court rejected the police request for remand and that Krishank was released, but the court order and case number have not been published in the material reviewed. The Telangana High Court was later reported to have directed police not to arrest him in connection with a social-media-post case and to follow Section 35(3) of the BNSS. The timing raises an obvious question: which custody did which order govern? [2][3]
Reports differ on the post itself. One links it to the September 7 Assembly protest; others describe allegations about masked men at Saifabad police station involving KTR’s staff. The FIR, remand application and original post were not available. The Congress government has not publicly answered the larger question raised by this episode: why the paperwork appears to be arriving after the arrest. [4]
