Vijayawada: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged multi-crore liquor scam questioned retired IAS officer and former Secretary in the Chief Minister’s Office, K. Dhanunjaya Reddy, and former Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to ex-Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, Krishna Mohan Reddy, on Wednesday.

Both appeared before the investigating officers in compliance with a Supreme Court directive barring their arrest until May 16. The SIT has named Dhanunjaya Reddy and Krishna Mohan Reddy as Accused No. 31 and 32, respectively, in the ongoing investigation related to alleged financial irregularities during the tenure of the YSRCP government.

In a significant development, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Special Court in Vijayawada remanded Bharati Cements Director Balaji Govindappa to judicial custody. Govindappa was arrested in Mysuru on Tuesday and brought to Vijayawada on a prisoner transit warrant. He has been lodged in the Vijayawada jail.

Meanwhile, the SIT intensified its crackdown, conducting raids across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Search operations targeted properties and offices linked to suspect P. Rohit Reddy, a director in several companies allegedly involved in the scam. Raids were carried out in Shaikpet, Gudi Malkapur, Rajendranagar, Yakutpura, and multiple other locations. Earlier, searches were conducted at the homes of several accused individuals in Vijayawada.

The scam, according to investigators, involved the creation of shell companies through which illicit funds from illegal liquor operations were allegedly routed. Several YSRCP leaders are under the scanner for their suspected roles in orchestrating and benefiting from the scheme.

The probe continues as more names emerge and financial trails are traced.
