Bengaluru: Three miscreants who set fire to two of MLA Satish Reddy’s cars were handed over to judicial custody after three days of thorough interrogation by Bommanahalli Police. During the investigation, authorities discovered that a history-sheeter is behind the incident and they are still gathering evidence.

According to a Senior Police Officer, Sagar (19), Sridhar (20), and Naveen (22) were interrogated and their phone records were verified. “Preliminary investigations revealed they had been in communication with one of the history-sheeters for several days, and we are gathering evidence to arrest him. However, we were unable to find any other people associated with political parties or any individual rivalry,” he added.

Satish Reddy said on Saturday August 14 that the accused’s motive cannot be believed. “They’re both alcoholics, with one of them also being a drug addict. It was a deliberate attack, and the culprits planned and carried it out.  The Police team should track them down “Reddy said.

Three miscreants set fire to two MLA SUVs on Thursday. The accused admitted to the crime because one of them was denied the opportunity to meet with the MLA on two occasions, and they were angry that Reddy was not assisting the needy.
