New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the arrest of the prime accused in the Rs 3,200-crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam case.
An Andhra Pradesh Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested K Rajasekhar Reddy, an IT advisor to former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, last month.
Reddy, however, called his arrest “illegal”.
A division bench of Justice JB Pardiwala dismissed his petition, citing “no merit” in the appeal. The top court said that Reddy can apply for regular bail.
