CBI arrests Jagan Mohan Reddy after 3 days of questioning
YSR Congress Chief Jagan Mohan Reddy was arrested on May 27,2012 Sunday by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after three days of questioning in the disproportionate assets case
The YSR Congress chief was taken into custody at 7.15 pm. Sources said that the CBI was not convinced with Jagan's replies and needed further clarifications in custody. He will now be produced before a CBI court, where the investigative body will seek police custody for the leader for further interrogations.
Jagan Mohan Reddy's arrest assumes significance as by-polls are scheduled to be held in the AP on June 12 for one Lok Sabha and 18 assembly seats.
The disproportionate assets case
Jagan is accused of conspiring with his father to dole out favours to companies which invested in his businesses in a quid pro quo arrangement. He was questioned by CBI investigators for over seven hours on Friday and over eight hours on Saturday. After the questioning amidst high security, Jagan remained unperturbed and said the questioning was cool and peaceful.
The disproportionate assets case pertains to the Vadarevu and Nizampatnam Ports and Industrial Corridor (VANPIC) deal. The CBI questioned Jagan in the presence of industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad and senior bureaucrat KV Brahamandna Reddy who are already under arrest.
Prasad was the promoter in the VANPIC deal and allegedly invested Rs 850 crore in the business of Jagan for land allotment made to the VANPIC project by the then YSR regime on quid-pro-quo basis. The CBI had on Thursday arrested Andhra Pradesh Excise Minister Mopidevi Venkataramana in connection with the VANPIC project.
Jagan's anticipatory bail petition was rejected on Thursday by the Andhra Pradesh High Court, hours after the CBI arrested Venkataramana.
The High Court as well as the CBI had turned down his pleas seeking exemption from appearing before the agency till June 15 due to his engagement with the by-polls campaign.
