The Anti Corruption Bureau, on Monday, arrested Karnataka MLA Gali Somasekhara Reddy, one of the main accused in the cash-for-bail case involving mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy.
Somasekhar Reddy was arrested by the ACB officials when he appeared at the ACB office to face investigations in connection with the cash-for-bail scam, on the fourth day, on Monday. After his arrest, officials shifted him to Osmania General Hospital for a medical check-up.
Later, he was produced in the ACB court, which remanded him to judicial custody till August 17.
The ACB had issued summons to both Somasekhar Reddy and Kampli MLA T H Suresh Babu, in July, asking them both to appear before the investigating officer. However, instead of appearing before the ACB, the MLAs moved anticipatory bail petitions before the court.
Although Kampli MLA Suresh Babu
surrendered before the agency, Somasekhar Reddy
appeared before the ACB a few days later. (INN)
