Almost 40 federal and local agents raided his Jonesboro office as they seized even more assets at his home. As a psychiatrist of Jonesboro, Nagareddy has been over prescribing benzodiazepine and opiates for the last several years, which has led to multiple overdoses and deaths.

If the allegations prove true, Nagareddy could be found guilty of violating Georgia 's Controlled Substance Act. One of the patients they identified as the 29-year-old Audrey Austin, a mother of two.

Investigators of criminal law allege that he has prescribed patients pain medication, which is a prescription outside outside his profession as a psychiatrist. They found that it may not have even been for legitimate uses for the patient. Some people took to social media venting their shock that someone would kill innocent people in the name of profit. It has been a horrible betrayal of trust. Narendra Nagareddy 's bond has been posted at $100,000. He continues to argue for his innocence. As of right now, Nagareddy faces one felony drug charge for illegally prescribing pain medication, but investigators of criminal law say that he will likely face more charges. In the raid of his home, they took thousands of records that could take several months to sift through.
