Judicial custody of Jagan and others extended till Aug 14

The remand was extended by the court after it expired today - in the disproportionate assets case against Jagan, in illegal mining case against Reddy, and in APIIC-Emaar land deal case - through video-conference. Only the suspended IAS officer Yerra Srilakshmi, an accused in mining scam, appeared before the court.

The judicial custody of former Minister Mopidevi Venkatramana Rao, industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad and senior bureaucrat K V Brahmananda Reddy was extended in Jagan assets case. Custody of other accused was extended in Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) and Emaar cases.

Jagan and other accused are presently in Chanchalguda jail, while Janardhan Reddy is lodged in a jail in Bangalore, in another illegal mining case in Karnataka.

39-year-old Jagan, the MP from Kadapa, was arrested on May 27 by CBI. The central agency has filed chargesheets in all these cases.
