Renowned Telugu actor, and YSR Congress Party member Posani Krishna Murali, known for films like 1: Nenokkadine, Temper, and more, was arrested at his home in Hyderabad by the Andhra Pradesh police on Wednesday. 

The arrest comes as a result of derogatory comments that the actor-turned-politician made. A case was registered against Krishna Murali at the Obulavaripalli Police Station for allegedly making derogatory comments against a particular community during a speech, which led to creating discord among communities. 

It is understood that the police have registered cases under BNS Sections 196, 353(2) and 111, read with section 3(5) of the SC/ST Act, as well as, the BNSS Section 41(1) and 47(2). More information regarding his arrest is awaited. 

As per the arrest notice given to Krishna Murali’s wife, Kusuma Latha, the offense committed by the actor-politician is cognizable and non-bailable. It was also mentioned that he would be forwarded to the Additional Judicial Magistrate of 1st Class in Rajampet for Judicial Custody. 

Several videos have surfaced online, where the police can be seen requesting the actor to cooperate with them. The video also shows Krishna Murali letting the police know that he has been unwell and undergoing treatment. However, the police requested him to go along with them and handed over the notice to his family.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Posani Krishna Murali has landed in legal trouble over derogatory remarks. In November last year, the actor-politician was booked for making derogatory remarks against the current Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.
