Bengaluru: Gali Janardhan Reddy in jail for 4th time in seven years

Deccan Chronicle  

Ballari: Beleaguered mining baron and former BJP minister Gali Janardhan Reddy who was arrested on Sunday after marathon questioning by the Central Crime Branch police in connection with a multi-crore Ponzi scam case, has gone behind bars for the fourth time in the past seven years. Reddy, the alleged kingpin of the multi-crore iron mining scam in Ballari, was earlier behind bars for about 41-months or almost three and a half years. Soon after quitting as minister in the BJP government in November 2011 after his indictment in former Lokayukta Santosh Hegde's report on illegal iron ore mining, the Central Bureau of Investigation, Hyderabad had arrested him on September 5, 2011 and put him in Chanchalaguda central prison in Hyderabad. The CBI had then arrested him on charges of illegal mining allegedly carried out by the Reddy owned M/s Obulapuram Mining Corporation in Ballari Reserve Forest in Andhra Pradesh bordering Karnataka.
