VIJAYAWADA: The National Investigation Agency arrested Duddu Prabhakar, state president of the Kula Nirmulana Porata Samiti and Sirisha, wife of Moist top gun (late) RK, at Ajit Singh Nagar here on Friday.
According to reports, Prabhakar is suspected to have connections with Maoists and is arranging funds for the banned Maoist party.
The police did not allow anyone into the house, took the two leaders into custody and shifted them to Chhattisgarh.
Prabhakar lived in a rented house in Ajit Singh Nagar with his wife and daughter for the past four years. Sirisha also used to stay there whenever she came to Vijayawada to take treatment for her illness.
Patibandla Swathi, daughter of Prabhakar, said that unknown persons in two vehicles came on Friday evening, forcibly entered their house and took her father Prabhakar and Sirisha into their custody. “They did not show any arrest warrant or notice and hardly spoke a word.”
Swathi sought to trace them and urged the police later to take stern action against those who “abducted” the two.
AP Poura Hakkula Sangham state secretary M. Aanjaneyulu, Kula Nirmulana Samithi state secretary Krishna, Vipalava Rachayitala Sangham state president Arasavilli Krishna, IFTU secretary K. Polari and other leaders condemned the arrests and sought the unconditional release of the two leaders.
