# Former BRS MLA Rohith Reddy convicted in Rs 34 lakh cheque bounce case 2026-08-08T22:49:03+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A Hyderabad court on August 7 convicted former BRS MLA Pilot Rohith Reddy in a cheque bounce case involving Rs 34.23 lakh. The first judicial magistrate, Khushboo Upadhyay, found him guilty under the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a cheque that bounced three times in 2014. Since Reddy was absent, the court issued a non-bailable warrant against him. The case was filed by Intellidecs Pvt Ltd, which alleged that Reddy, as its director in 2014, diverted company resources for personal use. Reddy resigned and agreed to pay Rs 34.23 lakh in settlement, but the cheque he issued was returned unpaid. The court rejected his defence that signatures were obtained on blank documents. Sentencing will happen after he is produced before the court. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - siasat.com Tags: BRS, cheque bounce, conviction, Hyderabad, Negotiable Instruments Act, Rohith Reddy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ex-mla-rohith-reddy-convicted-in-rs-34-lakh-cheque-bounce/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
