VIJAYAWADA: Sleuths of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned former Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayasai Reddy in Hyderabad on Thursday in connection with the alleged multi-crore liquor scam during the previous YSRCP regime. This marks the third time the former YSRCP leader has been questioned in relation to the case.
According to sources, the agency questioned him for nearly seven-and-a-half hours at the ED office in Basheerbagh as part of the ongoing money laundering investigation.
The questioning primarily revolved around policy decisions, alleged financial transactions, and links related to the liquor procurement and distribution system. Investigators also reportedly examined bank transactions and other details submitted by the former MP during his earlier rounds of questioning.
Speaking to the media after the inquiry, Vijayasai Reddy vehemently denied any involvement in the alleged scam. He mentioned that the ED collected information from mobile phones seized earlier.
“I have no connection with this case. I did not name anyone. I told them that all matters related to the liquor scam are known to Raj Kesireddy,” the former MP stated.
