Court rejects Dharmana, Sabitha custody petitions

Hyderabad, July 1 : The CBI Special Court on Wednesday rejected the CBI memos seeking judicial custody of former ministers P Sabitha Indira Reddy and B Dharmana Prasada Rao in connection with the quid pro quo case.

It may be mentioned that on June 7, the CBI filed memos in the CBI Special Court seeking judicial custody of former ministers. While Sabitha has been named as accused in the Dalmia Cements case, Dharmana Prasada Rao is facing charges in the Vanpic case. The CBI raised apprehensions before the court that the duo might influence the investigation and witnesses if not sent to judicial remand.

After hearing the arguments from the parties, the CBI Special Court rejected the CBI’s plea. INN
