Car thief arrested
Srihari Reddy from Nellur in Andhra Pradesh tried all possible ways to earn sufficient money to lead a lavish life and even got into fortune-telling but nothing worked wonders for him. He then switched to car theft and stole vehicles but this soothsayer could not predict that he would cool his heels one day in the jail.
Srihari (36), was arrested recently by the Indiranagar police with two Toyota cars worth Rs 31 lakh. With many aliases Srihari Reddy of Gudur town in Nellur district of Andhra Pradesh came to Bangalore some 20 years ago and started working in a poultry farm. But he did not like the job as the work was hard and earning meagre. He then tried his luck as astrologer but as his business failed, he then got into vehicle- lifting. He stole two cars but was caught.
