The accused Vidya Sagar will be produced in court today

VICHYANKA: Kukkala Vidya Sagar, who was arrested in Dehradun on Friday in connection with the arrest and torture of Bollywood actress Kadambari Jethwani, is expected to be produced before the Vijayawada court on Monday.

Vijayawada police nabbed Vidya Sagar from Dehradun and brought him to Vijayawada. Film actress Jethwani recently filed a complaint against Vidya Sagar at Ibrahimpatnam police station. She alleged that he had filed a false complaint against her and demanded his arrest. Based on the complaint, police arrested Vidya Sagar.

Jethwani had earlier claimed that she was arrested and tortured by the Ibrahimpatnam police on the complaint of Vidya Sagar. Vidya Sagar and Jethwani have known each other since 2015. He is a YSRCP leader and a corporator from NTR district.

Vijayawada Police Commissioner SV Rajasekhara Babu told media on Sunday that Vidya Sagar may be produced before the court in Vijayawada on Monday and that the police department was making arrangements for his production before the court.

Vidya Sagar had earlier filed a complaint with the Ibrahimpatnam police during the YSRCP rule, alleging that film actress Jethwani was blackmailing him and cheating him with fake documents. Based on the complaint, the Ibrahimpatnam police arrested the Bollywood actress and sent her to judicial custody. She was later released on bail. After the change of government in the state, the film actress filed a complaint with the police, alleging that Kukkala Vidya Sagar had filed a false complaint against her, which led to her arrest and torture.

She recently met Home Minister V Anita and urged her to withdraw the charges against her by the Ibrahimpatnam police. The state government had earlier suspended three IPS officers in connection with Jethwani's arrest.
