With Pawan Kalyan wading into the raging controversy over the Antarvedi incident, the Jana Sena chief has started to draw the attention of many more among the general public to the issue. The actor-politician on Tuesday demanded an inquiry stewarded by a retired High Court judge. He even hinted at demanding a CBI probe if the YS Jaganmohan Reddy government doesn't deal with the issue properly.

A former IPS officer named Nageswara Rao has promised assistance to Pawan Kalyan in this regard. "Apparently, it is the mischief of SOUL HARVESTERS, not of honey hunters. Pawan Kalyan garu, the fundamental problem is the government control of temples. DM (Direct Messenger on Twitter) me in case you are interested to know the issue and its civilizational ramifications," he tweeted.

Meanwhile, activists of the VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal, and others on Tuesday stormed the temple area demanding justice. They want the government to order a judicial inquiry into the burning of the chariot.

Former Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, too, said that it's not a mishap. BJP AP president Somu Veerraju, too, said the same.
