Hyderabad: Qaidi No.6093 at Chanchalguda jail appears to be the busiest
among all the prisoners as he had 134 ‘mulaqats’ in the first five months of
his stay in the jail, much higher than what was notched up by his ‘VIP’
co-prisoners. And qaidi No.6093 is none other than Kadapa MP and YSR Congress
chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders have now come out all guns blazing to accuse Chanchalguda jail officials of showing undue favour to Jagan, allowing him to meet more than the permissible number of people during his ‘mulaqat’ and having provided the MP with some communication gadgets.
Documents pertaining to ‘interview details’ with STOI show that Jagan, between May 29 and September 27, gave 134 ‘interviews’ during the mulaqat, to family members mostly besides some MLAs, MPs and friends.
Except on one or two occasions, at least officially, records show that prison authorities stuck to the jail manual as regards the norm of ‘mulaqats’ twice a week.
“During the mulaqat, the jail superintendent allows a prisoner to meet his/ her visitor for 30 minutes or above at his discretion in his (jailer’s) office,” a senior prison official said. TDP politburo member Yanamala Ramakrishnudu had a few days ago claimed that he had filed a Right to Information (RTI) application with the department of prisons seeking details about Jagan’s visitors.
Interestingly, mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy, who has been languishing in jail since September 2011, had given 86 ‘interviews’ till September-end. But his activities during mulaqats have on more than one occasion sparked controversies.
He has met at least 10 such people who are either MLAs or MLCs in Karnataka besides visitors who are now accused in the cashfor-bail case, including his brothers Karunakara Reddy, Somasekara Reddy and Kampli MLA Suresh in this time.
In the records, sometimes Jagan’s brother-inlaw Anil Kumar, who has met him eight times, has been identified as a ‘friend’ while sometimes his name was entered as ‘Anil Babu’. At Chanchalguda jail, Jagan has met 11 persons, some of whom are MLAs and MPs, besides his mother YS Vijayamma (19 times), who is also an MLA, wife Bharati (36), and sister Sharmila (9).
Surprisingly, some prominent visitors who met other inmates were not mentioned in the official records.
On February 18, former director-general of police (DGP) K Aravinda Rao had met suspended IAS officer BP Acharya at Chanchalguda jail. However, records claim that there were no visitors between February 16 and 20.
Similarly, actor Mohan Babu after meeting Jagan in the jail had disclosed that he had also met Nimagadda Prasad.
However, his name does not appear in the records of Nimmagada’s mulaqats.
