On Saturday, 11 July 2026, tension prevailed on the Shabad road in Hyderabad after local police stopped and detained former minister Sabitha Indra Reddy at the Chevella-Malkapur Gate. The former minister was traveling to Shabad to meet with the families of the victims of a recent multiple murder case.

According to officials, police officers prevented Sabitha Indra Reddy from continuing her journey along the route. After halting her vehicle at the Chevella-Malkapur Gate, the police took her into custody. Following her detention, she was shifted by the police to another location.
