Earlier, an incident occurred in the Chakiryal village of Nizamabad district when police stopped BJP national president DK Aruna and Nizamabad MP Arvind. The leaders were on their way to show support for BJP leader Maheswara Reddy's hunger strike. The police halted the vehicles of both BJP leaders, making it clear they could not proceed to Nirmal. This led to a heated argument between the BJP leaders and the police. Despite efforts by DK Aruna and Arvind to convince the police that they were not a threat to law and order, the officers stood firm. They told the leaders that they needed permission from higher officials to proceed.
