The Crime Investigation Department (CID), Andhra Pradesh, would issue
a ‘Red corner’ notice to nab notorious red sander smuggler Kollam Gangi
Reddy, who is said to be hiding in Dubai. Gangi Reddy is also one of the accused in the attempt on the life of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at Alipiri in 2004. Besides, Principal Secretary (Home) B Prasada Rao has given orders to police to prosecute Gangi Reddy for various offences. According
to police, Gangi Reddy obtained a passport by mentioning false date of
birth in passport application. After receiving the passport, he
allegedly fled to Dubai to evade arrest. A senior police officer
told Express that they would file a chargesheet against Gangi Reddy for
the passport offence, before the court on Monday. “After filing
the chargesheet, the court will issue a non-bailable warrant. While
executing NBW, we will issue a look-out notice and a red corner notice
to nab the accused through the Interpol. The accused is hiding somewhere
in Dubai,” a senior police officer said. AP incharge DGP Jasti
Venkata Ramudu wrote to the government on June 19 stating that there are
reasons to believe that Kollam Gangi Reddy has committed several
offences. The High Court too has found fault with the police for not declaring Gangi Reddy a proclaimed offender. AP
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is understood to have directed the
police officials to take steps to arrest Gangi Reddy, who escaped to
Dubai after getting bail in Alipiri blast case. Reddy was involved in
red sanders smuggling in Seshachalam forests.
