In seven years, Nagendra Reddy turned from an accomplished IT employee to a wanted criminal. He twice managed to escape from the police but his luck caught up with him in 2011 when he was shot dead in an encounter.

Nagendra Reddy hailed from a humble background. When he graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, he seemed to be on the path to success. He got a job in Hyderabad, moved to Bengaluru where he started a firm, and then moved to the United Kingdom. It was an all-too-familiar techie success story – until it wasn’t. The next seven years saw Reddy turn from an accomplished employee to a cold-blooded criminal wanted by the police in the UK, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, till he was gunned down by the Bengaluru police in 2011.

Who was Nagendra Reddy?
