Jagan assets case: SC notice to 6 AP ministers, 8 IAS officers

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today issued notices to six Andhra Pradesh ministers and eight IAS officers on a plea alleging that the CBI was not proceeding against them despite having sufficient evidence that they helped former Congress leader Y Jagan Mohan Reddy accumulate massive illegal assets.

The petitioner alleged that these six ministers and eight IAS officers were also holding ministerial and other key positions under the then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, during whose tenure his son Jagan Mohan accumulated huge wealth, disproportionate to his legal income. Reddy, in his petition, said even though the CBI had registered a number of cases against several others in the disproportionate assets case against Jagan Mohan Reddy, it failed to register any case against these 14 persons.
