Hyderabad, Sep 11 : A Hyderabad court on Tuesday sent Congress leader T. Jaya Prakash Reddy to judicial custody for 14 days in a human trafficking case.
The police produced the former legislator before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, who remanded him to judicial custody.
The Congress leader was later shifted to Chanchalguda Central Prison in the city.
Jaya Prakash Reddy alias Jagga Reddy was arrested on Monday after a suo motu case was filed against him at Market Police Station in Secunderabad.
According to the police, he allegedly obtained Indian passports and US visas by submitting fake documents in the name of his family members.
Jagga Reddy, a former MLA from Sangareddy constituency, allegedly obtained passports in 2004 for himself and for his wife, daughter and son by affixing the photos of others. He also allegedly obtained US visas for them and illegally transported them by accompanying them to the US as his family members.
Meanwhile, President of Telangana unit of Congress party Uttam Kumar Reddy has alleged that Jagga Reddy's arrest in the 14-year-old human trafficking case was illegal and aimed at terrorising opposition parties just before elections.

'Shocked' SC summons police commissioner, IO on Apr 13 in Ghaziabad rape-murder case of minor
New Delhi (PTI): Expressing deep shock, the Supreme Court on Friday intervened in the harrowing rape-murder case of a four-year-old girl in Ghaziabad and summoned the police commissioner and the investigating officer on April 13 with the case records.
A bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi took note of the submissions of senior lawyer N Hariharan, appearing for the victim's father, a daily wager, and expressed its displeasure over the manner in which the state police had conducted the investigation so far in the case.
The CJI lambasted the state police and two private hospitals, which refused to treat the girl before she succumbed to her injuries post-alleged rape, for their "complete indifference" and "insensitive approach".
On March 16, the victim was allegedly lured away by a neighbour on the pretext of buying chocolates and when the child did not return, a search led the father to find her lying unconscious and covered in blood. She later succumbed to her injuries at a government hospital in Ghaziabad.
