Senior journalist Revathi Pogadadanda, who runs Pulse News and previously worked for Mojo TV, was arrested by the Telangana police in the early hours of Wednesday. She was reportedly arrested for sharing a video of a farmer criticising the Congress government for not giving him Rythu Bandhu.

The police stated that Revathi had been taken into custody regarding the investigation of the case linked to the derogatory comments made against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in a video posted by her YouTube channel, Pulse News.

Sources claimed that Revathi was arrested around 4 am this morning. The police seized her laptop, phone and her husband Chaitanya Dantuluri's phone as well. The police have also seized Pulse News' office in Hyderabad.

Revathi also shared a video before her arrest saying that police had come to her home early in the morning. "They might pick me up and take me to the police station. I thought I should tell everybody. One thing is clear. Revanth Reddy wants to silence me, threaten me or even put pressure on me," she said.

Along with Revathi, another journalist Tanvi was also taken into custody by the police in connection with the same case. It was stated that they have been taken to the King Koti Hospital for medical checkups and after that, they will be taken to court.
