Since his school days, it has been a must for him to take the blessings of his mother before stepping out of his home. So was the case even today. After his mother, Pulivendula MLA Vijayamma kissed and blessed him while other family members and close friends watched, Kadapa MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stepped out of his house, waving to his supporters, who gathered there in large numbers to wish their leader luck while the heavy security cover in and around the Lotus Pond tried to do some crowd control which was indeed. Prior to hitting the road to Dilkusha guest house, Jagan took some suggestions from his confidante V Vijay Sai Reddy, who himself faced several rounds of questioning before being arrested earlier by the CBI. Both were closetted for 45 minutes. Around 10.30 am, as Jagan's vehicle came out from his house, tension gripped as his supporters, who were awaiting outside, rounded up his vehicle shouting Jai Jagan.. Jai Jai Jagan. Amidst his supporters, Jagan's convoy passed through to Road No: 12, Banjara Hills towards Raj Bhavan Road where Dilkusha Guest house is located. As the convoy reached to MLA Querters, police led by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Akun Sabharwal detained some of vehicles that part of Jagan's convoy. Akun Sabharwal also directed the police to stop media vehicles not to follow Jagan's convoy. Jagan's convoy escorted by Task Force police passed through Road No: 12 via Pension office, Taj Kirshna, IIPM and reached Khairtabad junction. Police forces including rapid action forces stopped all vehicles of Jagan at the junction while allowing only two vehicles in which Jagan and Sabbam Hari were travelling.
SECURITY LIKE NEVER BEFORE: With blocking one of the city's key road and section 144 in place followed by heavy police bandobust, Hyderabadis were left cursing wondering why the Hyderabad city police had turned paranoid for mere questioning of an MP. ''It appears as if a US President was to visit the Raj Bhavan road. It was sheer stupidity. I have never come across such a situation wherein for mere questioning, section 144 was imposed and such a massive bandobust was made,'' Amarnath Chowdary, a businessman, told Express. Terming it as a precautionary measure, police closed the stretch of Khairatabad junction - Raj Bhavan between 8.30 am and 7 pm. The Police, however, set up three layer security arrangements on the stretch to prevent untoward incidents with Jagan appearing before the CBI's office-- Dilkusha Guest House that is located near Raj Bhavan. The entire Raj Bhavan road stretch appeared like a curfew-bound zone with only policemen being seen all over. Leave along the aam-admi, even police officers who just happened to pass by faced the heat. V B Kamalasan Reddy, Superintendent of Police (SP), Intelligence and Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Police R Ravinder Reddy when police stopped their vehicles at the Raj Bhavan road. While DCP Srikanth, who posted at the Raj Bhavan, directing police to allow Ravinder Reddy towards to Dilkusha Guest House, Kamalasan Reddy opened his car door and introduced the police he is a SP of Intelligence and he was allowed. Police also stopped a vehicle in which a High Court Judge and his wife were travelling at the Raj Bhavan road. When the driver of the vehicle stated that it was a High Court Judge vehicle, police allowed it towards to Sagar Apartments. DCP Srikanth and K Ramachandran, Additional DCP did not allowed mediamen to Dilkusha Guest house even they showed their ID cards. After grilling more than seven hours between 11 am and 6 pm, Jagan came out from the Dilkusha and passed through his vehicle to his Palatial house, Lotus pond.
BUSES BURNT: Meanwhile, barring a few stray incidents of suicide threats, setting ablaze to four RTC buses, the city was peaceful today. A few persons, said to be supporters of Jagan, were took into custody by Punjagutta police when they shouted slogan Jai Jagan... Jai Jai Jagan at Somajiguda. A few unidentified persons also set fire to four RTC buses in LB Nagar, NGO's colony, Dilkushnagar and Meerpet police station limits in support of Jagan.
