Why Politicians Not Arrested?

Why no politician is arrested in the slew of cases that are triggered by former minister P Shanker Rao’s public interest litigation (PIL) so far? This is the pertinent question lurking in the minds of all.
When reporters directly asked VV Lakshminarayana, joint director of the CBI, on Tuesday as to why YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was not arrested yet, he said: “The role of the CBI would be always within the purview and framework of the investigation needs.”
A former DGP told Postnoon that an arrest would become mandatory only if the accused person in a case might run away from the law, or when he/she could tamper with evidence or when his/her life was under threat. Being arrested and being jailed following conviction were two different things, he clarified.
Former home minister and Telugu Desam Party leader T Devender Goud has alleged that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and YS Jagan “colluded” with each other and hence the insulation around the latter.
Former education minister and TDP legislator Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu sought to know why the prime accused in the disproportionate assets case was not being arrested.
He went to the extent of asking the State government to takeover Sakshi media, which was established with investments wangled through coercion or ‘quid pro quo’.
The CBI in its counter filed against Sakshi vice-chairman Vijaya Sai Reddy’s bail petition on Tuesday alleged that it was Sai Reddy who had coerced or lured investors to pump in money in return of favours done to them. The CBI argued that Sai Reddy would tamper with the evidence.
Congress leaders DL Ravindra Reddy, G Veerashiva Reddy, V Hanumantha Rao, Madhu Yaskhi Goud, and Shanker Rao himself keep on talking about the imminent arrest of Jagan on-and-off. They even went to extent of asking why the CBI was not arresting Jagan.
Lakshminarayana called on Chief Secretary Pankaj Dwivedi on Tuesday and explained to the latter about the arrest of BP Acharya and to “ensure better coordination” between the apex investigating agency and the State government.
The Chief Secretary used this as an opportunity to give a piece of his mind to the CBI boss in the State. He also reportedly shared the ‘hurt feelings’ of his IAS colleagues and the severe mental pressure they were reeling under.
It is said another four IAS officers are likely to fall in the CBI dragnet in the Obulapuram, Emaar and Jagan’s disproportionate assets cases.
Vasireddy Padma of the YSR Congress alleged that the CBI was pursuing a ‘political agenda’ by taking instructions from the powers that be. She also questioned the procedures of the CBI probe.
Even media organisations raised doubts over the way the CBI was conducting the interrogation — pitting the accused persons against each other during the questioning.
This method had no legal sanction and the whole exercise could be challenged after all the charge-sheets are filed, said an advocate defending a few of the accused in these cases.The arrest off BP Acharya and Yerra Srilakshmi wrenched the hearts of the IAS fraternity.
Incidentally, spouses of both officers are also all-India services officers. But if the CBI arrests Jagan, will it not lead to the arrest of many more politicians, especially of the Congress?
