Hyderabad: The Special Judge for ACB Cases Lakshmipathi here on Monday remanded Telangana TDP legislator A.

Accordingly, the police brought Revanth Reddy to the Assembly, where he was greeted by the TDP and BJP members. He cast his vote along with them. After casting vote, the ACB officials escorted the TDP leader to the Chanchalguda central jail along with his co-accused. As the TDP leader feared threat to his life, the prison officials lodged Revanth in a high security barrack as Khaidi No 1779. The bail petition moved by Revanth would come up for hearing on Tuesday.
