Andhra Pradesh Congress chief Y.S. Sharmila alleges she was placed under house arrest in Vijayawada
Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Congress chief Y.S. Sharmila on Wednesday alleged that she was placed under house arrest in Vijayawada.
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.
Expressing outrage, the Congress leader questioned whether going to her workplace had become a “crime” in the state. “Why are you trying to curtail our constitutional rights? What is your government afraid of?” she asked.
Following her release from house arrest, Sharmila met with supporters who had gathered outside her residence.

18 injured in amusement ride mishap at Jatra Mahotsava in Gadag
Gadag: At least 18 people were injured, four of them critically, after an amusement ride malfunctioned during the Jatra Mahotsava held at the premises of Tontadarya Mutt on Sunday night.
According to Deccan Herald, the incident occurred around 9 pm when the ‘Dancing Play’ ride (also known as Break Dance or Crazy Dance) reportedly developed a mechanical fault, causing three chairs to tilt dangerously while in motion.
The people inside these chairs were injured and rushed to Gadag Institute of Medical Sciences and Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMC-RI) Hubballi.
Police said that among the injured, two are from Koppal district, one from Tumakuru, and the remaining are from Gadag district. The identities of some victims are yet to be confirmed.
The four victims, who are in critical condition, are severely injured in the head and have been shifted to KMC-RI, officials said.
Meanwhile, members of the Hindu Veerashaiva Lingayat Yuva Vedike staged a protest, demanding strict action against the contractor responsible for organizing the amusement rides, as well as the Jatra Mahotsava committee.
