For more than two hours, he sat on the road and demanded for the release of the funds for the distribution of sheep. Raj Gopal Reddy was taken into custody by police. After being arrested, BJP supporters protested against the police and blocked the vehicle as it was being driven away by officers. Raj Gopal Reddy was detained and taken to the police station during the tense situation.
