Popular YouTuber B. Joseph, popularly known as 'Prasna Ravan', was questioned by police in #AndhraPradesh's #Krishna district in connection with a case over alleged derogatory remarks against Deputy CM @PawanKalyan. He was later produced before a court.
@NewIndianXpress
Blatant disregard of judicial precedent continues in Andhra Pradesh as 'Prashna Raavan' is arrested for the 5th time right after securing bail in 4th case.

Arrested thrice in 3 days: Systematic targeting in Andhra Pradesh
The Andhra Pradesh police arrested YouTuber and political commentator ‘Prashna’ Raavan for the third time on 2 July, even after he obtained bail twice. Although the Kakinada court rejected the remand request by Sarpavaram police, officers from Machilipatnam detained Raavan in another case filed in their jurisdiction. On #StateOfPlay, @anusharavi10 on how a systematic targeting of Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan's critic is being aided by Andhra Pradesh police.

Hello @kanduladurgesh and @Anitha_TDP
Since you oversee the Tourism and Home Ministries and been wasting tax payers money and police force since four days, here's a revenue generating idea to recover it all. Put @PawanKalyan's face and @teamprashna Raavan's face on a campaign, partner with @makemytrip, and turn it into a tourism commercial. Meeru Raavan ni thippina thippudiki costal Andhra tourism sky rocket aipovala.
I'm sure it could benefit everyone involved.
If you need help with the pitch deck or sample ad concepts, my DMs are open ♥️
Imagine the sheer amount of power, resources, police manpower, and taxpayers money being deployed merely to satisfy @PawanKalyan's ego. 😂
Santhanam evolved from a comedian into a hero. Pawan Kalyan seems to be doing the exact reverse.
In three days, YouTuber Bachalakuri Joseph alias Ravan was arrested for the fourth time in Andhra Pradesh.
Ravan was picked up from his residence in Hyderabad, Telangana on the intervening night of 30th June 2026-1st July 2026, by the Kakinada district police and was shifted to the Pithapuram Town Police Station.
He allegedly made derogatory remarks against Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan during a public meeting of Dalit Christians earlier.
Ravan was granted bail by Pithapuram district court on 1st July.
Within minutes of securing bail, on 2nd July morning, the Sarpavaram Police immediately arrested him.
But the same night, Kakinada Mobile Magistrate Court granted Ravan bail in this second case.
On 3rd July morning, again moments after he stepped out on his second bail, police from Krishna district took him into custody for the third time.
Late last night he was granted bail in the Inaguduru police case.
Immediately after his third bail, he was arrested for the fourth time early today morning by the Payakaraopet Police Station. He is currently being shifted to that police station and then will be produced before the magistrate.
Ravan is being taken from one police station in one corner of the state to the other.
Meanwhile Janasena cadre in local areas are gathering in front of police stations demanding police hand over Ravan to them.
It is unfortunate how this is unfolding.
Not just the whole thing reeks of absolute vendetta politics, but also is absolute waste of precious time of police and the already burdened courts.
This whole situation also poses a greater law & order issue with emotions running way too high. I don’t know how long this will keep repeating, for now it is not a great look for the Andhra Pradesh government and especially for Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan.
It will set a very wrong precedent..!!
I have known Ravan personally. He used to be a regular on my TV debate show. While I haven’t watched his recent work, Ravan is very strongly opinionated and a strong willed individual.
His YouTube Prasna (question) has a good fan base and am assuming carries the same belief system.
Citizens who ask right kind of questions are essentially for a balanced Democracy.
While most media is being controlled by a few individuals, independent voices like Ravan’s are extremely important.
Free speech and right to freedom of expression are our fundamental constitutional rights. No one should be denied the same in a functional democracy.
Three courts have granted him bail in the last three days.
Aren’t the courts are telling something?!
