The charges relates to alleged investments made by individual investors and private firms in Mr. Jagan's companies as a quid-pro-quo for government favours when late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, his father, was Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.

They were produced before the court through a video conference.

Recently, after his indefinite fast against the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, he was shifted to NIMS for treatment. He has now been taken back to the prison.

Meanwhile, a group of pro-Telangana lawyers 'gheraoed' the vehicle of Dharmana in the Nampally court premises and raised slogans in favour of the statehood. The police, however, managed to disperse the crowd.
