Hyderabad: A special CBI court on Friday posted the cases of alleged quid pro quo investments involving the firms of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, to June 10. Jagan, a legislator from Pulivendula Assembly seat and Leader of Opposition in Andhra Pradesh Assembly, appeared before the court in connection with different aspects of the cases.
Former minister Sabitha Indra Reddy and ICC chairman N Srinivasan also appeared before the court in connection with one of the cases. Some senior IAS officers and industrialists, who are among others accused in different charge sheets filed in connection with the cases, also appeared before the court.
All the cases pertain to alleged investments made by various private firms and individuals to the tune of several crores of rupees in Jagan's businesses, as part of quid-pro-quo arrangement in exchange for alleged favours by the erstwhile YS Rajasekhar Reddy government.
