Hyderabad, Oct 17: Former tourism minister Gali Janardhana Reddy and his brother-in-law B V Srinivas Reddy will have to wait for some more days before they can hope to be out on bail.
A special CBI court on Monday October 17 extended the judicial custody of the duo till October 31.
The two were arrested by the CBI on September 5 from Bellary in Karnataka for their alleged involvement in illegal mining case. They were taken to Hyderabad the same day and remanded in judicial custody, and later in CBI custody for a week.
The hearing was conducted through video conferencing as lawyers in Nampally Criminal Court continued their protest for separate Telangana state. The Reddys are lodged in Chanchalguda Central Jail here.
The court on September 30 had dismissed bail petitions of the mining baron and his brother-in-law. The same day, the court refused to remand the accused into further custody of CBI.
