Rohith Reddy Approaches HC Against ED Investigation

BRS MLA Pilot Rohith Reddy on Monday approached the High Court challenging the investigation of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the BRS MLAs poaching case.

Speaking to the media, the BRS MLA alleged that there was no money laundering in the MLAs poaching case, but that the ED was taking up investigation in the case to try to frame him as an accused.

"The poaching case is no way related to the ED as no money laundering took place. But the ED is targeting me. So I filed a petition with the High Court against the involvement of the ED in the case," Reddy said.

Meanwhile, the ED on Monday began questioning Kode Nanda Kumar, one of the accused in the poaching case, in connection with alleged money laundering.

The ED officials questioned Kumar in the Chanchalguda central prison.

Special arrangements were made in the prison for the questioning.

The central agency which obtained permission from a city court to question Nanda Kumar for two days, will record his statement.

The third Additional Chief Metropolitan Court has granted permission to ED Assistant Director Sumit Goyal and two other officers to record the statement of the accused in jail for two days in the presence of his lawyers.
