HC extends Jagan's CBI custody for two days

The State High Court on Friday extended the CBI custody of YSR Congress president and Kadapa MP Jagan Mohan Reddy, who was arrested in connection with disproportionate assets case, for another two days from June 9 to June 10.

The courts took this decision after completion of arguments and counter arguments over his custody and concurred with the CBI argument of extending his custody for completing investigations. The court while extending custody till June 10, directed the CBI to question him in the presence of two lawyers and not to use any third degree methods to extract information.

Earlier, the CBI has requested the court to extend Jagan’s custody for three days. The CBI counsel stated that Jagan was not cooperating with the agency in the investigations and it was yet to get vital clues from him in connection with assets case.
