He said an investigation into Konda Reddy’s Call Detail Records (CDR) revealed that several calls had been made by him to construction company representatives recently. The YSRCP leader was found guilty of threatening contractors. “We produced him in a local court, which remanded him to two-week judicial custody,” he said. The SP said the company was awarded a tender for the construction of the Vempalli-Rayachoti road in Kadapa district and the work had been going on for the last few months. </div> </div> </div> </div>
