Well, in itself that doesn't mean much - irregularities and power struggles within indian political paries is routine. Plus given the track record of the law enforcement agencies to arrest/Crack down with an agenda, usually along the lines that suits the political party. Even worse, legislation now provides the police and so on broad power in arresting subjects without allowing a fair trial( or just a trial!) For example under the anti terrorism act. Such legislation is frequently used to arrest on grounds that probably have little to do with their supposed criminal act.

This methodology of enforcement goes back decades way before India got independent, inherited from British Indian authorities. It's even more blatant under the current ruling party.
