The Janasena party in Telangana publicly criticised the police for detaining and questioning polytechnic college students, calling the move heavy‑handed and unjustified.
Telangana Janasena issued a sharp rebuke of recent police action targeting students of a local polytechnic institute. Party spokespersons said the authorities had overstepped legal boundaries by detaining and interrogating the youths without clear justification.
The police operation, which involved questioning a number of students, was described by the party as a "heavy‑handed" approach that could disrupt academic activities and intimidate young citizens. Janasena demanded an immediate withdrawal of the action and called for a transparent inquiry into the reasons behind the crackdown.
While the police have not released detailed statements, Janasena urged the state government to intervene, emphasizing that any disciplinary measure must respect students' rights and follow due process. The party warned that continued police overreach could erode public trust in law‑enforcement agencies.
