Hyderabad: The Kodangal court on Friday granted two-day police custody of BRS former MLA Patnam Narender Reddy for questioning in connection with the Lagcharla incident, where the Vikarabad collector and some revenue officials were attacked last month.
Narender Reddy is a key accused in the case for allegedly hatching a plan todestablise the government by creating law and order issues.
The Parigi police would take custody of Narender Reddy from the Cherlapally Central Prison, where he is currently lodged, on Saturday and shift him to Vikarabad for questioning. The court directed the police to question the accused in the presence of his counsel.
Earlier, police alleged that Narender Reddy was influenced by political leaders including BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao to inflame tensions at Lagcharla to destablise the government and its administration. The police seized his mobile phone but were unable to unlock the device. During the questioning, police are likely to open the mobile phone in the presence of Narender Reddy to get more leads in connection with the case.
