Mining baron Janardhan Reddy, who was arrested by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch on Sunday in connection with a bribery case, has been sent to judicial custody till November 24.
RP Chandrashekhar, counsel of Janardhan Reddy told the media, "Today Janardhan Reddy was produced before the Judge & the Court was pleased to accept our bail application on record. Judge has granted time till tomorrow to file objection on the main bail application & the application will be taken tomorrow."
Reddy, a former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister, was arrested on charges of bribery earlier today in a case allegedly involving Ambident Group. He is suspected to have received 57 kg gold worth Rs 18 crore to help an accused in a case being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
The arrest comes a day after Reddy appeared before the investigating agency after his anticipatory bail was rejected by the court. Police said he was interrogated till late night on Saturday.
