other of mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy and Karnataka MLA Gali Somasekhar Reddy on Friday surrendered before the Anti-Corruption Bureau officials in connection with cash-for-bail scam.
According to ACB, Gali Somasekhar Reddy was evading police arrest among the eight accused in the cash-for-bail scam.
The ACB had issued summons to both Somasekhar Reddy and Kampli MLA T H Suresh Babu in the third week of July asking them to appear before the investigating officer.
However, instead of appearing before the ACB, the MLAs moved anticipatory bail petitions before ACB court.
Meanwhile, the ACB court on Friday adjourned its decision on granting anticipatory bail to Somasekhara Reddy to August 9. After hearing the arguments from both sides, the ACB court posted the petition to August 9.Earlier, Kampli MLA Suresh Babu surrendered before the ACB officials.
It may be recalled that after Suresh Babu’s surrender, Somasekhar Reddy became suspicious that ACB was tracking his every movement and went underground.
ACB sources revealed that to avoid being tracked, the MLA even stopped using a cellphone and he even abandoned his gunmen.
