CBI's Strange Allegation On Jagan Petition

[Anta Assamey]

There have been several attempts to cancel Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s bail in the CBI court. There are also equal number of attempts to ensure that he is physically present in the court for every hearing.

He was not exempted from physical presence in the court even when he launched his marathon padayatra in 2017, which brought him to power with a record victory.

Now, as the chief minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy filed a petition in the court seeking exemption from his presence in the court during hearing of the case. 

Jagan Mohan Reddy’s counsel told the court that it would be difficult for him to attend the court for every hearing as he is holding a responsible position as chief minister. 

Opposing the petition, the CBI told the court that being chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has the chances of influencing the witnesses in the cases. 

Though the court had differed the verdict, it is doubted as whether the CBI has any information on Jagan Mohan Reddy using his chief minister’s office and influenced any witness during the last three years!

Does the CBI have any credible information on Jagan Mohan Reddy making any attempt to influence any witness? 

It is high time that the caged parrots come out of the political imprisonment, particularly when dealing with politically motivated cases.
