May 28, 2014 21:40

The Khammam police in Andhra Pradesh took Amway India CEO William Scott Pinckney into custody today following registration of a case against the direct selling company.

Amway is facing nine criminal cases at various places in Andhra Pradesh.

A court in Kurnool district also rejected Pinckney's bail petition and granted his five-day remand to Kurnool police while the Punjagutta police registered yet another case against him.

Howver, before Kurnool police could take his custody, the Khammam Police obtained a production warrant from a court in Khammam and furnished it to the Kadapa jail authorities this evening. A complaint has been filed against Amway by one G Rama Rao in Khammam.

"We have taken him (Pinckney) into custody from Kadapa prison... He will be produced before a court in Khammam district," a senior police official told PTI late this evening.
