Hyderabad: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday named Andhra Pradesh Industries Minister J. Geeta Reddy as an accused in one of the two charge sheets it filed in the disproportionate assets case involving YSR Congress party chief Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy.
The agency filed the two charge sheets in Indu Techzone and Lepakshi Knowledge Hub (LKH) deals in a special court, taking the total number of charge sheets in the case to 10.
Geeta Reddy has been named as one of the accused in LKH charge sheet. The latest charge sheets have also named former ministers, Sabitha Indra Reddy and Dharmana Prasad Rao, who also figured in the previous charge sheets.
Geeta Reddy, who is the fourth minister to be named in Jagan (as Jaganmohan Reddy is popularly known) case, called on Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy Tuesday night and offered to resign.
