An aide of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was arrested, granted bail, and then re-arrested in multiple cases within a short span, triggering a political row in the state. The individual, identified as YSR Congress Party Leader Pudi Srihari, was initially taken into custody by police and produced before a court in Kuppam. The court granted him bail the same day after issuing notices, allowing for his release under legal provisions.

However, before he could be released, Srihari was taken into custody again by another police unit in connection with a separate complaint registered in Guntur. The second case reportedly relates to alleged objectionable social media content, leading to his immediate re-arrest upon bail in the earlier case.

Srihari had earlier been detained in Bengaluru and brought to Andhra Pradesh following legal proceedings, including the denial of interim relief by higher courts. The case involves allegations linked to social media posts targeting political figures, with multiple complaints filed across districts.

The sequence of arrest, bail, and re-arrest has sparked criticism from the YSR Congress Party, which accused the ruling government of misusing law enforcement agencies to target opposition leaders. Party representatives described the cases as politically motivated and aimed at suppressing dissent.

Authorities, however, have maintained that due legal process is being followed and that each case is being handled independently based on complaints received. The developments have intensified political tensions in Andhra Pradesh, with both sides trading allegations over the use of state machinery.

The episode underscores the growing friction between the ruling establishment and opposition leaders in the state, particularly as legal battles and political confrontations continue to intersect in high-profile cases.
