CBI said Ramky had invested Rs 10 crore in Jagati Publications as a quid pro quo for the benefits it secured from the then government headed by Jagan’s father Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

The agency had already filed two chargesheets in the disproportionate assets case and has arrested only Vijayasai Reddy so far.

Vijayasai,however,is now out on bail granted by the special CBI court.
