The police have issued lookout notices against YSRCP leader and former minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy. The police have issued these notices after Kakani did not appear for the police investigation into the illegal mining, transportation and use of explosives against the rules. Steps have been taken to prevent Kakani from leaving the country.
The police have informed all airports and seaports. This notice was issued after the High Court rejected Kakani Govardhan Reddy’s anticipatory bail petition on Wednesday. Six police teams led by SP Krishnakanth have been deployed. They are searching intensively in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai.
Kakani and four other accused have been absconding for the past 12 days. Meanwhile, the High Court rejected Kakani’s anticipatory bail petition. It also adjourned the hearing on the quash petition for two weeks. The police are collecting evidence on illegal quartz mining, large-scale use and transportation of explosives.
Kakani and Batch exported quartz and pulverizer worth over Rs 250 crore to foreign countries. The police are fully investigating the transfer of large amounts of money from abroad. The police are also investigating the companies that supplied the explosives, the people who bought them and their use.
The AP High Court gave a big shock to Kakani Govardhan Reddy on Wednesday. The court refused to provide protection to Kakani in the case registered by the Podalakur police in the illegal quartz mining case. The High Court bench rejected their request for interim bail. His lawyers argued in the High Court that the case should be dismissed as Kakani has no connection with this case.
During the previous government’s tenure, illegal mining took place in Varadaiahpalem village, which is very close to Kakani’s own village, Toderu. The police found that this mining took place in the eyes of Kakani, who was the then minister.
They threatened and chased away the Rusum Mines, which had been operating there for almost 30 years, and committed large-scale quartz irregularities in the area. In this context, the police registered a case against illegal mining in Nellore on February 16.
