The Anti corruption Bureau sleuths on Monday took into custody the retired district judge P V Chalapathi Rao and T Ravi Chandra (son of suspended judge T Pattabhirama Rao), both arrested in connection with the cash-for-bail scandal, from Cherlapalli Jail.
The ACB court has granted five-day custody of Chalapathi Rao and Ravi Chandra following a petition filed by the ACB to question them in connection with cash-for-bail scandal. The officials shifted both the accused to the ACB office for interrogation.
The court directed the ACB to question them from morning 10 am to 5 pm in the presence of their lawyers. The court also directed the ACB not to use any third degree methods.
Chalapathi Rao and T Ravi Chandra were arrested on June 16 for being part of the conspiracy along with Pattabhirama Rao and others to facilitate bail to former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy in the Obulapuram Mining Company case.
