CBI has filed a memo, asking that the former ministers Sabita Indra Reddy and Dharmana Prasada Rao be sent to judicial custody. The agency argued that if the two remained out, they were likely to influence the witnesses. If the court concedes CBI’s contention, the two are likely to be arrested. Both Sabita and Dharmana, who were recently made to resign, attended the court, apart from Vijaya Sai Reddy, second accused in Jagan assets case, whose bail was recently cancelled.
