Dhanunjaya, Krishna Mohan 'held' in liquor scam
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|May 17, 2025
IN a major development in the multi-crore liquor scam, two accused, Dhanunjaya Reddy and Krishna Mohan Reddy, were allegedly taken into custody on Friday and are expected to be produced in the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court in Vijayawada on Saturday.
However, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) did not officially confirm the duo's arrest or court production. The move follows the Supreme Court's dismissal of their anticipatory bail petitions on Friday, prompting the police to initiate coercive action. The two former government officials had been questioned by the SIT for three days before being arrested on Friday.
