The alleged leak of the Telangana State Public Service Commission exam paper was the immediate trigger for the protest.
YSR Telangana Party chief YS Sharmila was today detained by the police from a protest demonstration in Hyderabad. Dramatic visuals from the spot showed the police dragging her as she resisted detention. Several of her supporters, who joined her in raising slogans demanding justice over exam paper leaks, were also ferried away from the spot in a bus.
The alleged leak of the Telangana State Public Service Commission exam paper was the immediate trigger for the protest. The BJP has also been turning the heat on the K Chandrashekar Rao-led state government on the issue.
The police have arrested at least eleven people in the case.
There have been sharp exchanges between Ms Sharmila and KT Rama Rao, who is the Industries and Information Technology minister of the state. The minister said that the leakage was a limited activity by certain individuals who behaved in a malafide manner.
