A month after the arrest of the ATM attacker by the Andhra Pradesh police, the city police have finally brought him to the city to reconstruct the case, which has been pending since November 2013.
The police produced the accused before the 6th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and took him into eight-day police custody.
The accused, Madhukar Reddy, confessed that he had carried out the attack for the money, as he was starving for two days.
According to the police, Reddy came down to Bengaluru to hide after killing an eldery woman after robbing her of her ATM card in Kadri in AP. But, he was unable to withdraw any money. In Bengaluru, he waited at the Corporation Bank ATM, NR Square, the whole night waiting to rob people. But, no one came. However, the next morning, he saw Jyothi Uday entering the ATM and followed her.
Initially he threatened her to handover the money, but when she raised an alarm, he attacked her with a matchette. He escaped with her card and other valuables, the police said.
The police who have kept Reddy under full security cover will be taking him to the places where he had stayed and also at the scene of crime to reconstruction the incident.
