HYDERABAD, May 26:
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) began questioning YSR Congress Party President Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy at Dilkusha Guest House for the second day today in the alleged disproportionate assets case against him.
Though there was much hype across the state about Jagan’s arrest yesterday and police making elaborate security arrangements, it did not happen.
The investigating agency which questioned him for nearly eight hours yesterday on the assets and Vanpic deal had asked him to come again for another round of questioning today.
Complying with the direction of the CBI officials, the Kadapa MP started in his black Scorpio vehicle from his palatial residence at Lotus Pond with police escort accompanying him and reached the guest house at 1030 hrs.
Mr Jagan had said yesterday that he answered all the questions asked by the CBI very calmly and he was very much satisfied after answering them.
“I will come again tomorrow and answer rest of the questions,” the YSR Congress Chief further said.
Strict security arrangement was made around the guest house. Policemen had lined the road from Jagan’s residence to the Guest House as they feared law and order problems in the eventuality of his arrest.
The probe agency questioned Jagan on the Vadarevu and Nizampatnam Ports and Industrial Corridor (VANPIC) deal in the presence of industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad, senior bureaucrat K V Brahamandna Reddy and former Excise Minister Mopidevi Venkatavama Rao, who were already under arrest.
Mr Prasad is promoter in the VANPIC deal and allegedly invested Rs 850 crore in the business of Jagan for land allotment made to VANPIC project by the then YSR regime on quid-pro-quo basis. (UNI)
