Vijayawada: Raj Kasireddy, the prime accused in the alleged multi-crore liquor scam, was taken into custody for questioning for the second consecutive day on Saturday. He underwent a medical examination at GGH Vijayawada before being taken for questioning.
On Friday, the first day of custodial interrogation, SIT officials questioned Kasireddy for nearly seven hours. However, he reportedly gave evasive replies and did not cooperate. Investigators confronted him with call data records, documents, and witness statements as part of the ongoing probe.
SIT officials reportedly posed over 100 pointed questions to Kasireddy, covering key aspects such as liquor policy design, kickbacks received from distilleries, and financial transactions linked to the scam. While he confirmed certain details, he allegedly dodged several critical questions.
In a significant move, SIT also conducted a joint interrogation of Kasireddy and another accused in the case, Chanakya. The duo was shown evidence collected so far, including corroborative statements from witnesses. After the day’s proceedings, both were sent back to Vijayawada central jail. The interrogation is expected to continue till May 7 as SIT intensifies efforts to uncover the full extent of the alleged scam and identify other beneficiaries involved.
