The disturbances were reported near Raj Vihar Centre in Kurnool city during the night of the final match, where large crowds had gathered on the streets to celebrate the team’s title win. Amid the celebrations, unruly groups targeted several Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation buses, smashing windows and causing extensive damage to public assets. Private vehicles and roadside infrastructure were also affected in the vandalism.
Following formal complaints, a case was registered, and District Superintendent of Police Vikrant Patil directed officials to identify those responsible and initiate strict action. Police teams examined CCTV footage from the area, reviewed videos circulated on social media, and relied on technical evidence to trace the individuals involved. Based on the investigation, 18 persons allegedly involved in the incidents were identified and arrested.
On Monday, the accused were brought from the Two Town Police Station and escorted to court under tight security arrangements. Police personnel marched alongside the accused through the city, drawing the attention of residents and traders.
Authorities issued a strict warning that no individual will be permitted to damage public or private property under the guise of celebrations. Officials further stated that the investigation remains ongoing, and additional individuals may be questioned if further evidence emerges.
All arrested individuals have been produced before the court, and subsequent legal proceedings are currently underway, as law enforcement reinforces its stance against public disorder during celebratory events.
