Three held in Lanco attack case

HYDERABAD: Three leaders of Telangana Rashtra Samithi, who allegedly attacked the Lanco corporate office at Banjara Hills few days ago along with their activists, were arrested by police on Wednesday.

The three accused were picked up from a hotel in Hospet of Karnataka State in the early hours.

The accused trio, Rammohan, Jagdish Reddy and Prabhakar, told the police that they fled the city after attacking the Lanco office and went to Goa. From there, they shifted to Udipi in Karnataka before being caught at Hospet. A special team of the Commissioner’s Task Force tracked their movements and caught them.

The Banjara Hills police said nine more accused in the case, including E. Srinivas of Marredpally, were identified but all of them were absconding.

The arrested persons were produced before a magistrate in the evening and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. They were lodged in Chanchalguda jail.
