HYDERABAD, May 13: The Principal Special CBI Court at Nampally today extended the judicial remand of YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy till June 3 in the disproportionate assets case registered against him.
Judge U Durga Prasada Rao passed the order after conducting the proceedings through video conference from Chanchalguda Central Jail where the Kadapa MP is lodged.
The judge extended the remand of former Karnataka BJP Minister Gali Janardhan Reddy till June 3 in the Obulapuram Mininig Company (OMC) case after the proceedings were conducted through video congference.
Mr Rao also extended the judicial remand till June 3 of Vanpic developer Nimmagadda Prasad and Bureaucrat K V Brahmananda Reddy who were also cited as accused in the disproportionate assets case of Mr Jagan.
He also extended the remand to June 3 of OMC case accused B V Srinivas Reddy, V D Rajagopal and Mr Janardhan Reddy’s personal assitant K Mehfuz Ali khan.
The court also extended the judicial remand through video conference of Jagan’s assets case accused and former Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao and Emaar accused N Sunil Reddy till June 3.
Mr Jagan was arrested by the CBI on May 27, 2012, after the CBI found investments to the tune of Rs 850 crore pumped into his companies–Jagathi Publications, Indira Television, Bharathi Cement, Sandur Power, Carmel Asia and others by firms and individuals in return for lands allotted to them during Mr Jagan’s father and late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s tenure.
Few days ago, the Supreme Court had rejected Mr Jagan’s Bail application and directed the CBI to complete the probe in the disproportionate assets case in the next four months.
Meanwhile, the CBI has raised an objection in the CBI court on Mr Jagan’s memo that probe should be conducted after combining all the chargesheets filed in the assets case so far.
It said the probe should be conducted separately on the seven aspects as there were conspiracies in different angles.
The CBI has filed a counter petition opposing granting bail to bureaucrat K V Brahmananda Reddy. (UNI)
