Hyderabad: A Telugu film director-cum- producer, who also has several criminal cases registered against him, was on Thursday arrested after two country-made pistols and 16 live rounds were seized from him, police said. Sleuths of Commissioner's Task Force (Central Zone), acting on a tip-off, raided the house of Bejjam Rajesh Putra at Jubilee Hills here and recovered illegal firearms and 16 live cartridges from his possession, they said.
Putra, a native of Eluru in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, was subsequently arrested, a senior cop said. "Rajesh Putra confessed that he brought the weapons from Bihar in 2010," Deputy Commissioner of Police B Limba Reddy said. He unsuccessfully contested 1998 by-election from Eluru Lok Sabha constituency, police said.
