Why Was Posani Krishna Murali Arrested?
Posani Krishna Murali, a well-known supporter of the ruling Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), has often found himself in the middle of political controversies.

Posani’s Response Before Arrest
In a recent video statement, Posani addressed speculation regarding his possible arrest, stating:
“I have no problem with being arrested, but it should not be due to political or personal motives.”
He also expressed remorse for his past remarks, adding that he had decided to withdraw from active political involvement to avoid further controversies.
