The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday sought the judicial custody of former ministers in AP cabinet, Sabitha Indra Reddy and Dharamana Prasada Rao in the illegal assets case of YSR Congress Party chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.

In a memo filed in the special CBI court here, the investigating agency said the media interaction of the former misters who were mentioned as accused in the charge-sheet was hampering the progress of probe.

Sabitha Indra Reddy, who was the Home Minister, resigned last month while Prasada Rao was the Revenue Minister.
