Hyderabad: On Wednesday, Rachakonda police sought 15-day custody of M Srinivas Reddy.
According to the Times of India report, Rachakonda police sought 15-day custody of serial rapist and murderer, M Srinivas Reddy. The court posted the petition for arguments.
Police suspect that Srinivas may also be involved in more such offences, while some villagers alleged that Reddy also committed property offences.
Bhongir DCP, K Narayana Reddy said, “We sought Srinivas Reddy’s custody to find out if he has committed more offences because he worked at different places in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh including Kurnool, Adilabad and Vemulavada.
Srinivas Reddy, during interrogation said, he was beaten up by locals for misbehaving with women at Hajipur and Adilabad.
In 2016, Srinivas Reddy and four other were arrested by the Kurnool Police on charge of raping and killing a sex worker. Later, got bail as investigators could not establish the identity of the victim.
Meanwhile, Hajipur villagers demanded that Reddy should be given capital punishment for committing serial rapes and murders of minor girls.
Police booked a criminal case under Sections 147,427,452,436,353 r/w 149 of the IPC against 14 persons, including one Rajendar Reddy Pakkiru, for arson at Srinivas Reddy’s house on the day of his arrest.
