A local CBI court today extended till July 4 thejudicial remand of YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in connection with adisproportionate assets case.
Jagan, who appeared before the judge through video conference from Chanchalgudaprison where he is lodged, had earlier requested the court that he be allowedto appear in the court in person.
However, the court rejected his memo and directed the prison authorities toproduce him through video conference.
When Jagan was last produced before the court, the police brought him in apolice van, instead of the bullet-proof vehicle it used earlier.
Objecting to the manner in which he was brought to the court, Jagan hadcomplained to the court and said despite being an MP and president of apolitical party, he was treated like an ordinary criminal though he was stillan accused and no charge against him was proved yet.
CBI, probing the assets case against Jagan, had arrested the 39-year-old MP onMay 27.
The probe agency, in its three charge-sheets filed against Jagan and others,had alleged that he and his father hatched a conspiracy to defraud thegovernment, and the state government granted some favours to certain firms,which made investments in Jagan's businesses as a quid pro quo.
Meanwhile, in APIIC-Emaar case, the court extended the remand of suspended IASofficer B P Acharya till July 4. He was also presented before court throughvideo conferencing.
