Maoist leader handed over to Andhra police

KOCHI: Malla Raji Reddy, 57, also known as Sattenna, a member of the Maoist central committee, was handed over to the special team of Andhra Pradesh police.

Reddy was arrested, along with Suguna, 30, a tribal woman, by a special police team from Andhra Pradesh near Little Flower Hospital, Angamaly, on Monday.

When the Andhra police sought transit warrant for the two after presenting them before the Judicial First Class Magistrate-II, Aluva, near here, on Wednesday, the Magistrate first remanded them to judicial custody for 14 days. However, the Magistrate, later, issued transit warrant after the Andhra Pradesh police told the court that the accused would be produced before Manthani Court in Karim Nagar district before December 22.

Four warrants were produced against Reddy and one against Suguna.
