Hyderabad, April 25 (Maxim News): Senior Congress leader and Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who was slapped with a criminal case by the Banjara Hills police for wrongful confinement, criminal intimidation and assaulting two police men, has been denied anticipatory bail by the Nampally Criminal Courts here on Thursday.

Following which a case of wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation was filed by the police officials against Konda Vishweswar Reddy.
