Bengaluru: Mining baron Janardhan Reddy has been arrested once again by the SIT officials here on Friday, November 20. The arrest came after a round of questioning which took place in Bengaluru following a fresh complaint was filed against him.
A CBI team in 2011 had arrested the former Karnataka minister and mining baron Gali Janardhana Reddy in Bellary, on charges of illegal mining operations in the Reddys’ Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) in Andhra Pradesh. He had secured anticipatory bail in 13 cases.
After spending three years and four months in Bengaluru’s Parappana Agrahara Prison, Reddy was granted conditional bail by the Supreme Court in January 2015.
