The Saroornagar police and the LB Nagar special operations team have arrested GHMC corporator from Gaddiannaram division, Baddam Prem Maheswar Reddy, and nine others, for criminal conspiracy, kidnapping and voluntarily causing hurt, on Saturday.
Police said corporator Reddy was the kingpin who had conspired to kidnap Lanka Laxminarayana, a former rowdy-sheeter, and who had been allegedly interfering in the affairs in his Gaddiannaram division.
Other motives were also that Lanka Murali, his brother, had property disputes and approached Shravan, a follower of the corporator, who also had differences.
