Jagan and the others accused, including ex-minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao, industrialist Nimmagadda Prasada and senior bureaucrat K V Brahmananda Reddy (all accused in Vanpic aspect of the Jagan assets case), who are currently lodged in Chanchalguda prison, were produced before the CBI court through video-conferencing.
Andhra Pradesh Minister Dhramana Prasad Rao, who is also an accused in the case, appeared before the court.
Jaganmohan Reddy was arrested by CBI on corruption charges on May 27 last year.

The central agency has so far filed five charge sheets, besides two supplementary charge sheets, against Jagan and others.

The court, meanwhile, also extended till May 13 the judicial remand of former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy, his brother-in-law B V Srinivas Reddy and another accused Mehfuz Ali Khan in the illegal mining case involving Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC).
