At one stage, a student poured kerosene and tried to set himself on fire. But his friends stopped him and calmed him down.
The angry student who tried to commit suicide alleged: "We have been fighting for united AP for the past four years. Despite so many students ending lives, they (union ministers) are resorting to shameless politics. At least they should wake up and send back the Telangana Bill."
Police arrested the students after the situation turned tense. It is not known if Chiranjeevi was present at his home when the protest was happening.
Sources say that he is in Delhi to attend the Lok Sabha sessions.
It may be recalled here that Chiranjeevi's convoy was blocked by pro-united Andhra lawyers in east Godavari district over creation of Telangana.
