Dalit writer Kancha Ilaiah has been put under house arrest by the Hyderabad Police to prevent him from leaving for Vijayawada to address a public meeting for which he was denied permission. Ilaiah has been embroiled in a controversy after Vysya community associations protested against his book 'Samajika Smugglurlu Komatollu' (Vysyas are social smugglers), alleging it was derogatory towards them.
