After hearing the arguments of both sides, the magistrate rejected the bail plea and sent him to judicial custody.Meanwhile, Ram said he was not beaten up by police during the custody. He, however, denied that he used any abusive word against the chief minister or any other leader and said he was only highlighting the government's failures.Ram was arrested from his house by the police on Wednesday night, a day after his remarks triggered a huge backlash from alleged supporters of ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) who attacked the TDP's central office at Mangalagiri in Amaravati and party offices in other parts of the state.Pattabhi Ram's house was also attacked by unidentified people on Tuesday.Ram's wife Chandra said he was arrested by policemen after breaking open the door.
