HC reserves order on Anjaneyulu's bail plea
Vijayawada: The high court on Friday reserved orders in the bail petition filed by former APPSC secretary and DG rank officer PSR Anjaneyulu, who was arrested in connection with alleged irregularities in Group I evaluation and is under judicial remand.
The court said it will pronounce orders on Monday.
Arguing on behalf of the police, assistant public prosecutor Sai Rohit said Anjaneyulu is not cooperating with the police, and expressing anger at investigating officers during his questioning in police custody and repeatedly saying that he is responsible for everything. Anjaneyulu has been charged with illegally paying money to a private company and getting the answer sheets evaluated by ineligible persons.
Arguing on behalf of the IPS officer, S Nagesh Reddy said the evaluation was not done at a private place as is being alleged. Only verification of answer sheets was done there. "He has been in jail for the last 30 days and has completed two days of police custody. As the petitioner is suffering from ill health, bail may be granted with conditions," he urged the court.
PVG Umesh Chandra, who appeared for Madhusudhan, another accused in the case, said the petitioner acted according to the terms of the agreement and sought bail with conditions. Considering the arguments, the high court reserved orders for Monday.

Mithi river desilting scam: ED summons bollywood actor Dino Morea for questioning next week in Rs 65 crore fraud case
Dino Morea NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday summoned Bollywood actor Dino Morea for questioning next week in connection with an alleged Rs 65 crore Mithi river desilting scam, following raids at 15 locations, including the actor's Mumbai residence, on Friday. The case involves accusations of inflated bills, fake work logs, and systematic diversion of public funds meant for flood prevention and drainage maintenance in Mumbai. The raids were conducted across Mumbai and Kochi under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act at locations linked to contractors and officials suspected of embezzlement in the Mithi River desilting operations. The actor's summons comes days after he and his brother were questioned by Mumbai Police in a related corruption case. The ED initiated its investigation after taking note of earlier inquiries by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Comptroller and Auditor General that had flagged potential financial misconduct in the desilting project. Sources within the agency indicated that financial documents, electronic devices, and transaction records are being seized during the ongoing searches. The ED suspects a network of contractors and middlemen submitted fraudulent work completion reports to misappropriate funds intended for infrastructure development. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The Mithi River, which serves as a crucial drainage artery in Mumbai, gained national attention following the devastating floods of 2005.
