Ranga Rao’s bail plea hearing put off

HYDERABAD: The CBI court on Friday adjourned to January 30 the hearing in Stylish Homes’ director Tummala Ranga Rao’s plea seeking an anticipatory bail.
Although the CBI was supposed to make its stand clear on the plea by Friday, the probe agency failed to file its counter and asked for the hearing on the plea to be deferred.
Sources said that CBI may not oppose Rao’s plea in view of his statement to both CBI and a magistrate which, the agency claims, has armed them with useful information.
Vijay Sai Reddy files bail plea: V Vijay Sai Reddy, the advisor to YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s firms and an accused in the YSR Congress leader’s disproportionate assets case, Friday filed a petition in court seeking bail.
“I am a professional chartered accountant and it is not correct for CBI to say that I alone knew about the alleged conspiracy to acquire assets,” Reddy said in his petition.
The judge asked CBI to file its counter to Reddy’s plea and posted the hearing in the matter to January 31.
