Red sander smuggler Kollam Gangi Reddy held in Mauritius

Red sander smuggler Kollam Gangi Reddy, against whom a red corner notice was issued, was today nabbed from Mauritius with the help of Interpol officers and efforts are on to deport him to India.
"Yes...He has been caught with the help of Interpol officers in Port Louis. Efforts are on to bring him back to India soon," a senior police officer attached to the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Andhra Pradesh told PTI.
Reddy, an international smuggler of red sandalwood, has close contacts with Chennai-based Sahu Bhai, also an international smuggler.
He had absconded from India after obtaining bail from the AP High Court last year, police had said.

Reddy, who was at large ever since he was released from jail, hails from Vathaluru in Pullampeta mandal of Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.
He is also one of the accused in the attempt on the life of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at Alipiri in 2004.
