Enforcement Directorate begins questioning Jagan Reddy | The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has begun questioning YSR Congress
Party leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy in connection with the disproportionate assets
case. A team of ED officials from Delhi and Hyderabad has reached Chanchalguda
Jail earlier today to record his statement in connection with the case. The officials
are questioning Reddy in the presence of his advocate at the Jail premises. The
Andhra Pradesh High Court had earlier rejected Jagan's plea for bail in connection
with disproportionate assets case. The High Court said that it agreed with the
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) contention that Reddy was not eligible for
bail in connection with the case. Jagan's mother Vijayamma had earlier met the
CVC and the Prime Minister in her efforts to defend her son. In a letter submitted
to the Prime Minster, Vijayamma alleged harassment of Jagan by the CBI. The letter
also accused CBI Joint Director Lakshminarayana of "having an ulterior motive
behind the YSR chief's arrest. "The functioning of the CBI and its Joint Director
Lakshminarayana is giving room for doubt over the very intention of the premier
investigating agency in handling the case," the letter stated. Jagan was arrested
by the CBI on May 27. The High Court on July 4 dismissed his bail petition.
