Our journalist friend Pittala Srisailam, the force behind Musi TV, was arrested and implicated in a false case by Andhra Pradesh police. He was whisked away in Kandukur in Prakasam district some time in the afternoon of December 4, 2007 when he went to interview a leader of the CPI (Maoist). His whereabouts were not known for the next 30 hours, despite his family and friends, including journalist unions’ office bearers making representations to the police bosses and Home Minister. Finally in the night of December 5, the Home Minister accepted that Srisailam was in their custody. He also said they would let him off if it is true that he went for an interview only. However, by the late night Srisailam was implicated in a false case and shown as a “courier” of the Maoists.
