NTV anchor Swetha Reddy in trouble!
Popular NTV anchor Swetha Reddy was interrogated on January 21 in connection with her alleged link with Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in Suri's murder case.
The police claimed that the 24-year-old anchor is Bhanu’s girlfriend and benami (proxy) holder of much of his property, which were apparently stolen from Suri while he was in jail.
Officers claimed the call lists of the cell phones of Swetha, Suri and Bhanu had revealed that she frequently called both, and that some of the conversations suggested she was in a relationship with Bhanu, who is in hiding.
Swetha, however, told the media: "Suri and I were distant relatives. I have no links with Bhanu, who was just a sidekick of Suri." But the police alleged she had confessed to having been Bhanu’s girlfriend for the past four years, while claiming she did not know about his dark side.
Officers say Swetha had suddenly turned a “multi-millionaire” a few years ago and apparently part-owns a boutique and a film industry lab. The police have seized several documents relating to her properties. The police say Suri had invested nearly Rs. 300 crore in 10 to 15 films that are in the pipeline.
