Hyderabad: A special CBI court in Hyderabad will likely hear the bail plea of Kadapa MP and YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy. He has been in jail for over 15 months in a disproportionate assets case.
Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday filed two new chargesheets against Jagan in the case. Andhra Cabinet Minister Geetha Reddy is also named in one of the chargesheets. The CBI had now filed 10 chargesheets in the case so far.
Jagan case relates to alleged investments made by private firms and individual investors in his companies as a quid pro quo for government favours when his father, late YS Rajasekhara Reddy was Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.
The CBI has accused Jagan of amassing huge wealth through illegal means by misusing the office of his late father YS Rajasekhara Reddy when he was the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh between 2004 and 2009.
Presently under judicial custody, Jagan has been lodged in the Chanchalguda Central Prison since his arrest by the CBI for corruption charges on May 27, 2012.
