Assailant Madhu Nabbed In Gruesome Bengaluru ATM Attack

Chittoor: In a major breakthrough, the police have reportedly arrested a man  in connection with the infamous Bengaluru ATM attack which triggered panic across the country.

The accused, identified as Madhukar Reddy, was apprehended by Andhra Pradesh police in Nimmanapalliki village near Madanapalle in Chittoor district on January 31.

Adding a twist to this case is that it is yet to be confirmed whether the assailant looks like the ATM man, who was seen in the CCTV footage. The police is yet to give an official statement on this.

The woman was not only injured in the vicious attack but was also paralyzed. However, she resumed her official duties after she was back to good health

The police from two states - Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka - have been on the lookout for the assailant and have even announced Rs 12 lakh reward for anyone who provides information about him.

It may be recalled that the spine-chilling event took place in September 2013, wherein the victim Jyothi Uday was attacked with a machete in an ATM kiosk in Bengaluru.

The 38-year-old was working as an officer with Corporation Bank. The woman was not only injured in the vicious attack but was also paralyzed. However, she resumed her official duties after she was back to good health.
