In a twist of the turn of events, a case has been booked against YSRCP MLA Kotamreddy for his involvement in cricket booking, said police sources. Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy has been elected to the AP Assembly from Nellore district.
A special investigation report pertaining to Kotamreddy’s involvement in cricket betting has been submitted to AP DGP Malakondayya by Nellore SP Ramakrishna. The AP DGP has transferred the case to ACB along with the investigation report. This isn’t the first time Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy’s name has been heard in the cricket betting cases.
The police managed to find crucial evidence of Kotamreddy meeting famous bookie Krishna Singh in few hotels in Vijayawada. The related CCTV footage, hotel bills, and other preliminary evidence against the MLA has been well documented by the police bosses.
‘During our investigation, we found out that Krishna Singh took asylum under Kotamreddy after a lookout notice was issued against him. Kotamreddy was handed over Rs 23 lakhs via an individual named Vishnuvardhan Reddy after he helped Krishna Singh to surrender in the court’, said a police officer.
With elections in a year, MLA Kotamreddy’s arrest could be a big blow to the YSRCP party in the Nellore district.
