The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Andhra Pradesh police, which has intensified its probe into the alleged liquor scam during the previous YSR Congress Party regime, has stepped up its scrutiny of former MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy’s family.
On Wednesday, SIT officials carried out search operations in Chittoor, Tirupati, and Hyderabad, targeting companies linked to Bhaskar Reddy and his son Chevireddy Mohit Reddy.
In Chittoor, searches continued at Mohit Reddy’s infrastructure firm, with inspections conducted at offices located in B V Reddy Colony, Nalanda Nagar, and Nikhilananda Apartments.
According to sources, the SIT also searched Flat No. 35, Prashanti Hills, Gachibowli, Hyderabad, connected to a company linked to Mohit Reddy.
Investigators reportedly uncovered suspicious details, including multiple “shell companies” operating under mismatched registrations, raising red flags. Step by step, SIT is exposing the web of links surrounding those accused in the scam.
At CMR Company in Chittoor, officials found a board under the name Well Task Food and Beverages, which they identified as belonging to YSRCP leader Vijayanand Reddy.
During inspections, documents revealed connections between the companies of both Mohit Reddy and Vijayanand Reddy.
At Bhim Space office in Hyderabad’s Prashanti Hills, investigators found a board displaying the name Isha Infra. Its directors were identified as Sajjala Bhargava Reddy and Pradyumna, the former principal secretary to ex-CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Officials further disclosed that during elections, â¹8 crore was invested, with Pradyumna himself claiming ownership of the funds.
It may be recalled that Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy is currently in judicial remand at Vijayawada jail in connection with the case.
