19 May 2012 7:04 AM GMT
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday questioned Andhra Pradesh Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy in YSR Congress Party leader Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's alleged illegal assets case. A team of CBI officials questioned the minister at her residence here for about three hours, CBI sources said.
The minister was questioned about the permissions and licenses given to certain cement companies, which allegedly made investments into Jagan's companies under quid pro quo arrangement.
Sabita Indra Reddy was the minister for mines in Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's cabinet from 2004 to 2009. She reportedly told the CBI that the licenses were given to cement companies as per the decision taken by the cabinet and that she did not violate any norms while issuing the orders.
She is the third minister questioned by the CBI in the Jagan case. In March and April, the investigating agency questioned excise minister Mopidevi Venkatramna and roads and buildings minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, who were ministers for infrastructure and revenue in YSR's cabinet.
