Arrested for protesting against Telangana's first Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)
On 28 November 2022, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party workers allegedly attacked Y. S. Sharmila’s convoy during her padayatra titled 'Praja Prasthanam' at Chennaraopet in Warangal district, who protested against her remarks made on the BRS party leader, Peddi Sudarshan Reddy. On 27 November 2022, Sharmila accused Peddi Sudarshan Reddy of extorting money from people by threatening them, illegally acquiring land, and intimidating contractors. The members of the YSR Telangana party alleged that a group of BRS workers attacked the caravan in which Sharmila was resting and smashed the glasses of cars belonging to YSR party members following which the permission granted for her padayatra was cancelled by the police. Sharmila, while addressing the reporters, expressed her resentment over the cancellation of her padayatra and said,
For the past 223 days, me and my party leaders and representatives are holding a peaceful padayatra to highlight the plight of various sections of people in Telangana. Our rising popularity has jolted Chief Minister KCR and his partymen, who want to stop me at any cost."
On 29 November 2022, Y. S. Sharmila arrived at Punjagutta to proceed towards Telangana's Chief Minister, K Chandrashekar Rao’s residence along with her party leaders to protest against the attack on her convoy by the group of BRS workers and the eventual cancellation of permission for her padayatra. She was stopped by the police, but she locked herself in her car. When Sharmila refused to come out of her vehicle, the police had to tow her car using a crane while she sat inside and took her to SR Nagar police station, where she was detained along with six other party workers. A few hours later, she was released after her bail was granted. A case was registered against her at the Panjagutta police station under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), section 333 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt to deter public servant from his duty), and section 327 (voluntarily causing hurt to extort property, or to constrain to an illegal act).
