The Pulivendula police have booked a case against Shaik Dastagiri, an accused in the murder of former Member of Parliament Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, for allegedly holding a boy for ransom.
Dastagiri was the former driver of the slain leader, who later turned approver in the sensational murder case.
The boy’s mother, Kullayamma, told the police that she had taken a loan of ₹40,000 from Dastagiri on interest, and had been paying the same regularly.
