Andhra Pradesh opposes Gangi Reddy’s bail
Hyderabad: The state government on Tuesday moved the AP High Court seeking cancellation of the bail granted to Kollam Gangi Reddy in the red sanders smuggling case booked against him in Kurnool.
Gangi Reddy, a red sanders smuggler and one of the accused in the 2003 attack on TD chief N. Chandrababu Naidu at Alipiri, had obtained the bail from the High Court on May 15. He allegedly fled the country using a fake passport on May 21.
The government has submitted before the court that the accused was an international red sanders smuggler having links with Chennai-based international smuggler Sahu Bhai, who is now in Dubai. The government told the court that after obtaining bail, Gangi Reddy left for Bahrain.
It was contended that Gangi Reddy had not disclosed the details of his passport and had concealed the facts. AP CM-in-waiting N. Chandrababu Naidu had written a letter to Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan on Friday alleging that the police had allowed Gangi Reddy to escape from the country. He sought disciplinary action against the officers responsible for the escape of the accused.
