Forty-three-year-old Matta Reddy, accused of masterminding the sensational double murder reported recently at Ibrahimpatnam, was Ashok Reddy till 2006.
Investigation by Rachakonda police revealed that Ashok Reddy, whose name figured in a bank fraud case registered by Narayanguda police of Hyderabad, changed his name eventually to evade the police! “He claims that he got his name changed legally and even got a gazette notification issued,” a police officer associated with the investigation of the Ibrahimpatnam double murder said. The officer seeking anonymity said they were yet to catch hold of the notification.
“It is clear that this Matta Reddy was Ashok Reddy till 2006. On the passport of his children, his name is mentioned as Ashok Reddy,” the police said.
