Jagan Assets Case: Vijaya Sai Reddy Custody Extended

The CBI Special Court in Nampally on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy aide Vijay Sai Reddy till 5 March. He is also is the vice-president of Jagati Publications Private Ltd (JPPL) owned by Jagan and was arrested last month.

The CBI produced him before a court dealing with the CBI cases as his judicial custody ended Tuesday. Following the court's order, he was taken back to Chanchalguda Central Jail. The court adjourned hearing on his bail petition to March 5. Vijay Sai is the only man arrested since August last year when CBI booked Jagan and 72 others on the direction of the Andhra Pradesh high court. The MP from Kadapa is facing the allegation of conspiring with his late father and then chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy to roll out public assets in the form of mining licenses, special economic zones, ports and real estate permissions to unscrupulous investors who pumped in money into his companies on a quid-pro-quo basis.
