Crime Investigation Department police on Saturday arrested Siddardha
Reddy in connection with the death of the upcoming actress Pratyusha.
Among the three charges he faces is one for murder under section 302
of the IPC. He has also been charged under Sections 309 (attempting
to commit suicide) and 306 (abetment to suicide). He has been placed
in a lock-up of the Women's Protection Cell (WPC) at Red Hills. The
CID action comes two days after CM Chandra Babu Naidu announced in Assembly
that the investigation was being handed over to CBI. A WPC team of the
CID arrested Siddardha Reddy from CARE hospital at about 7 pm. He was
taken around the areas where it was claimed the couple drove before
taking poison. Officials refused to allow mediapersons to speak to him,
stating that he did now know about Pratyusha's death and the news may
upset him. His uncle Madhu Sudhan Reddy said Siddardha Reddy asked the
police weather they had treated Pratyusha similarly. "It indicates,
he is unaware of her fate," he said.
