Andhra Pradesh High Court has granted temporary relief to YSR Congress MP Mithun Reddy in relation to the alleged ₹4,000 crore liquor scam. On his anticipatory bail petition, the court asked the CID not to take any immediate action against him until April 3.
CID accused Mithun Reddy, along with another YSRCP member MP, of being involved in a five-year-old multi-crore liquor scam. The agency said it had collected significant evidence and was preparing to arrest him and so Mithun Reddy came to the High Court seeking anticipatory bail.
Having heard both parties, the High Court gave directives to the CID not to make any immediate actions against the MP until April 3. The CID had also presented a counter-petition listing their investigation, which was scrutinized at the hearing.
The case has been adjourned, with the next hearing to be held on the day after tomorrow. This temporary relief gives Mithun Reddy some time to fortify his legal defense. As the case progresses, it continues to attract public and media interest, with developments eagerly anticipated.
