Police arrested KCR near Karimnagar on 29 November, before he reached Siddipet to begin his fast, together with other TRS leaders. The Indian Express reported the charges as spreading disaffection, criminal conspiracy and inciting people to violence. A magistrate in Khammam remanded him to 14 days of judicial custody, and he began the fast in custody. On 30 November he accepted fruit juice at the government hospital in Khammam, as shown in footage released by the authorities; the TRS called this a government conspiracy, and on 1 December KCR said he was continuing the fast. The Srikrishna Committee report says he 'reportedly broke his fast but resumed it soon thereafter'. [1][2][3]
