ED to Quizz Vijay Sai Reddy in Liquor Scam

Hyderabad: Former YSRC leader V. Vijay Sai Reddy is expected to appear before Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in Hyderabad on Thursday for questioning in connection with the Rs 3,500-crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.

A few days ago, the ED’s Hyderabad unit issued a notice summoning it under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) seeking more information regarding the case.

Investigators allege that funds worth Rs 3,500 crore during YSRCP’s tenure in Andhra Pradesh were diverted through collections from liquor suppliers. It is believed that Vijay Sai Reddy played an important role during this period.

The scam came to light following the change of government in Andhra Pradesh and led to an ED investigation.
