Vijay Sai Seeks Special Treatment
Vijay Sai Reddy seeks special treatment in jail - he says he is entitled to it because of his education, income tax contribution and prior status of living.
The CBI Special Court has posted a petition filed by Vijay Sai Reddy seeking special status in jail.
Vijay Sai Reddy was arrested by the CBI in connection with the illegal assets case of Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
In the petition, Sai Reddy's counsel stated that he qualifies for status of a special class under-trial prisoner in accordance with the AP prison rules.
He claims he is entitled to that because he is highly educated and also was an Income Tax assesse who has paid an income tax of over Rs. 5 lakh, and that he is "habituated to a superior mode of living".
The probing agency, in its FIR against Jagan and 73 others, including Vijay Sai Reddy, alleges that various investors, who are beneficiaries of public properties, invested in the companies promoted by Jagan at very high premium as a quid-pro-quo to the favors doled out by the former chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.
