He was taken into custody in the early hours at his residence in Shanthinagar in Patancheru town and shifted to police station where he was questioned for more than five hours.
After coming to know about the arrest of Madhusudhan Reddy, a huge number of BRS activists have gathered at the station. The slogan shouting BRS cadre tried to obstruct the vehicle in which Reddy was being shifted to a court.
The court later remanded him to 14-day judicial custody, following which he was shifted to the Sangareddy jail His brother, MLA Mahipal Reddy has exuded confidence that he would come clean in the case since they had done nothing wrong in the mining activity.
