The BJP has moved the Telangana High Court alleging Kumar was arrested "illegally" and "without any valid reason".
Fear is real in BRS.!

First they stop me from conducting press meet & now arrest me late in night.
My only mistake is to Question BRS govt on its wrong doings.
Do not stop questioning BRS even if I am jailed.
