In a major twist in the Rs 3200 crore AP liquor scam case, the ACB Court passed a sensational order. The court directed that the mobile phone of ex excise minister and former deputy CM Narayana Swamy be sent to the forensic science lab.
Narayana Swamy has already faced several rounds of questioning by the SIT. With this order, his call data and bank transactions during Jagan’s tenure will be examined. This could provide new leads for investigators working on the high-profile case.
Political circles in Andhra Pradesh are abuzz that forensic analysis of Narayana Swamy’s phone may reveal crucial proof. The SIT believes this can take the investigation to the next stage and uncover more about the liquor scam operations.
Meanwhile, the remand of accused persons in the liquor case has ended. They were presented before the court for extension. The SIT also raided the properties of Jagan’s associate Narreddy Sunil Reddy, who allegedly diverted kickbacks through shell companies.
According to investigators, Sunil Reddy is suspected of making major investments in Dubai. The SIT is now focused on tracing how these funds were routed abroad. With the new court order, the AP liquor scam probe has gained fresh momentum.
