Officials from the SIT took custody of the Jogi brothers for the second time on Friday. Jogi Ramesh and Jogi Ramu will be questioned for three days as part of the ongoing probe.
The Jogi brothers were earlier interrogated by the SIT in connection with the Ibrahimpatnam fake liquor case. Officials are expected to question them on multiple aspects of the case. At present, both are in remand custody.
Meanwhile, notices have been issued to family members of the Jogi brothers. Jogi Ramesh’s wife and sons have been served 41A notices as part of the investigation process.
An additional case has also been registered against Jogi Ramesh. This relates to allegations of breaking hospital windows and disrupting police duties when he was taken for medical examination after his initial arrest.
Authorities stated that the 41A notices issued to family members are meant only for interrogation. The investigation is continuing on multiple fronts.
People across Andhra Pradesh are closely watching the developments. The fake liquor case has drawn political attention, with allegations pointing towards a conspiracy involving YSRCP leaders against the ruling government.
Investigators allege that Jogi Ramesh played a key role in the fake liquor case. According to the claims, fake liquor was produced through close aides and the issue was later leaked to the media to tarnish the image of the Chandrababu Naidu government.
