The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy in connection with an illegal mining case involving former Karnataka minister and mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy. A team of CBI officials Friday night questioned the minister in her office for two hours till 11 p.m., sources said.
The investigating agency quizzed Sabita regarding the mining leases given to Janardhana's Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC), allegedly involved in illegal mining in Anantapur district bordering Karnataka. Sabita was minister for mines in Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's cabinet from 2004 to 2009, when OMC was granted leases and permits for iron ore mining. The home minister was questioned soon after CBI once again grilled Indian Administrative Service officer Srilakshmi for four hours at its office. She was the mining secretary when OMC was granted leases.
Janardhana Reddy, who owns OMC, and his brother-in-law and OMC Managing Director Srinivasa Reddy are already lodged at Chanchalguda Central Jail in Hyderabad. They were arrested by CBI Sep 5 from Bellary in Karnataka. By questioning Sabita and Srilakshmi, the CBI has stepped up investigations into the illegal mining case registered in 2009.
