Taking to social media platform X, she asked why she was being restricted from going to her workplace — the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) office.
“Why am I house arrested in my villa in Vijayawada? For what reason? Please tell the people of AP,” she wrote, tagging Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and the Andhra Pradesh police.

Following her release from house arrest, Sharmila met with supporters who had gathered outside her residence.
