Earlier today, five persons were taken into custody by Hyderabad police on the charges that they were involved in vandalizing the OB vans of a TV channel on Friday.  They have since been identified, as per some media reports, as Pawan Kalyan's followers.

Kathi Mahesh has demanded that Pawan should now step in to help his fans.  They are largely seen as having resorted to vandalism because they had been very angry with the said TV channel for running programs that "insulted" Pawan and his mother.

Seconding Kathi's demand, this is what RGV has said: "Yes you are right.. Like he went to Film Chamber, he should now once again go to police station with his entire mega family to support them."

Earlier today, Kathi was allegedly intimidated by some fans of Pawan at Annapurna Studios.  "I went there to express my solidarity with Pawan Kalyan.  A mother is a mother.  I wanted to tell him not to politicize the issue.  But some fans attempted to attack me," Kathi said.
