HYDERABAD/NEw DELHI: In fresh trouble for YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy, the CBI on Wednesday filed an FIR against him in Andhra Pradesh in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
The agency also filed a petition in a special court in Hyderabad seeking its permission to conduct searches at his premises.
The CBI action came even as the former Congress leader and son of late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy moved the Supreme Court challenging the Andhra Pradesh High Court’s order directing CBI to have a thorough inquiry against him.
Reddy contended that the August 10 order of the High Court was not a reasoned decision.
The High Court, in its order, had directed CBI to take their probe into the case to its logical end and ordered a thorough inquiry by CBI into the alleged disproportionate assets of Jagan after registering a criminal case.(PTI)
