The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday froze the bank accounts of Jagati Publications, Indira Television Ltd and Janani Infrastructure owned by Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, in the illegal assets case.
Jagati Publications and Indira Television run Sakshi Newspaper and Sakshi TV, respectively.
The CBI had directed State Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce to freeze the accounts of these firms in their city branches as they could have “ill-gotten’’ money.
The investigating agency had so far filed three charge-sheets in the case.
Mr Reddy, chief of Y S R Congress Party, was also summoned by the CBI court to appear before it on May 28.
