VIJAYAWADA: Former Intelligence Chief PSR Anjaneyulu has been remanded to judicial custody till May 7 by a Vijayawada court in connection with the case involving Mumbai-based actress Kadambari Jethwani.
The senior police officer was arrested on Tuesday and produced before the Third Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate court following a medical examination at the Government Hospital in Vijayawada on Wednesday.

The court took note of these findings while remanding him.
Following the court order, Anjaneyulu was shifted to the district jail in Vijayawada. The arrest of such a high-ranking former officer has sent ripples through the police and administrative circles in the state.
