The Prakasam district police have arrested a social activist, Vaddela Sandeep, on the charge of misusing the social media for running a malicious campaign against Energy Minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy and the State government in connection with the seizure of ₹5.22 crore cash by the Tamil Nadu police. “A thorough investigation is on by fully following the procedure,” the SP said. Meanwhile, a video recording, purportedly made by the youth alleging harassment by the police, went viral on the social media. The activist, Mr. Naidu said, had a simple question: “How did Mr. Srinivasa Rao’s hawala money pass through A.P. without getting caught by the State police even as their TN counterparts busted the entire operation?”
