Amaravati (AP): AP TDP national spokesperson K Pattabhi Ram was denied bail by a Vijayawada Court and further sent to judicial remand till November 2. Though Pattabhi's lawyer had asked the court to grant bail, the public prosecutor had opposed the same citing several cases booked against the former in the past.
After having heard arguments from both sides, the judge rejected the bail plea and sent the TDP leader to judicial custody. The TDP leader was arrested amid high drama from his residence and taken to Thotlavalluru Police Station.
