As the special investigation team of the Andhra Pradesh police intensified the probe into the alleged liquor scam that took place during the YSR Congress party regime, one of the accused Paila Dilip on Friday filed a petition in the ACB Court, making sensational allegations.
Dilip, who is listed as Accused No. 30 in the case, has claimed that police are threatening his mother and pressuring him to confess that funds from the liquor scam were used to build their family house.
He alleged that the authorities are mentally harassing his family and running a malicious campaign against him.
Responding to the petition, the ACB court directed the concerned police officials to file a counter and adjourned the hearing to September 3 after listening to arguments.
Meanwhile, the SIT also filed a petition in the ACB court seeking the attachment of assets of the accused. The court has issued notices to 11 parties, asking them to submit objections if any.
Those served notices include: Raj Kesireddy, Buneti Chanakya, Kashichayanula Srinivas, Paila Dilip, Varun Purushottam, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, Nallanan Mathappan (MP Distilleries), Nallanan Mathappan (SNJ Sugars), SBI Chennai, ICICI Bank, Hyderabad and Treasury Officer, Vijayawada
During the hearing, representatives from SNJ Sugars, MP Distilleries, and accused Varun Purushottam appeared in court.
Several respondents informed the court they had no objections to the attachment of their properties.
