Hyderabad: Two persons were arrested in connection with the alleged photo morphing case that had sparked a political slugfest between the Congress and the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) recently.
Devanna, a former sarpanch of Konapur in Nizamabad district, and Mahesh, a businessman from Raikal in Jagtial district, were taken into custody by the cyber crime police for allegedly morphing the pictures of an official government programme, where BJP Medak MP M Raghunandan Rao had felicitated forests minister Konda Surekha with a ‘handwoven scarf’ during her visit to his constituency recently.
The issue had spiraled into a major controversy after Surekha had dragged the personal lives of Tollywood actors Akkineni Naga Chaitanya, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Akkineni Nagarjuna and Akkineni Amala.
