The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday filed a supplementary charge sheet in the CBI special court in the alleged illegal assets case of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, adding another corruption charge against him.....
The CBI has added Section 9 of Prevention of Corruption Act (taking gratification, for exercise of personal influence with public servant) against Jagan and the other accused in the case. This is in addition to Section 11 and 13 of the PC Act.
The supplementary charge-sheet, which adds to the first charge-sheet already filed against Jagan on March 31, says there was an additional investment of Rs 5.25 crore made by Hetero Drugs and Aurobindo Pharma in Jagan’s media house Jagathi Publications and its sister concern Janani Infra. In all, the companies had made investments to the extent of Rs 35 crore in the Jagan’s firms, the CBI said and described these investments as “bribes” paid by the companies as a quid pro quo for allotment of lands for them by the then Y S Rajasekhara Reddy government.
