In a quiet operation in the morning hours of Monday, an
official of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) finally served
court summons on YSR Congress Party president and Kadapa Member of
Parliament Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy asking him to appear in the special
court for CBI cases in Hyderabad on May 28.
The
Kadapa MP reportedly told the official that he would go to the court in
person though the summon read he could appear “in person or by pleader”.
The
summon said Mr. Reddy's attendance was necessary to answer charges
under provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the Indian
Penal Code. Similar summons have been served by the court to 11 other
individuals and corporates.
Mr. Reddy was staying at
the guest house of St. John's College of Engineering near Yerrakota on
the outskirts of Yemmiganur as part of his three-day tour in the
constituency.
According to reports, the lone officer
walked into the room of Mr. Reddy around 8.45 a.m., presented the
papers, and left. Mediapersons who waited till midnight expecting to
capture the episode missed out the event.
They got to
know about it only when Mr. Reddy went to the house of Mantralayam MLA
Y. Balanagi Reddy in Yemmiganur town around 11.30 a.m. Only a few of Mr.
Reddy's personal attendants and tour organisers were present when the
official reached the place. Many of them did not suspect him to be a CBI
official.
