In a notable twist in the ongoing Andhra Pradesh liquor scam investigation, businessman Raj Kasireddy is finally preparing to face the Special Investigation Team (SIT) after evading multiple summons. Despite receiving four consecutive notices, Kasireddy had stayed out of the spotlight, allegedly due to concerns over a possible arrest.
However, with pressure mounting and legal proceedings gaining traction, Kasireddy has now confirmed—via his father—that he will attend the SIT questioning at 12 PM on Tuesday. His move comes even as his anticipatory bail plea continues to be considered by the Telangana High Court. The court, during its recent hearing, adjourned the case to next week, directing SIT officials to file a counter-affidavit.
Sources close to the development indicate that Raj Kasireddy does not want to further delay the process of investigation and is ready to cooperate, even if the court verdict is still pending. His sudden move has generated a lot of political speculation, especially since senior leaders like former MP Vijayasai Reddy and current MP Mithun Reddy have already returned their answers to the SIT’s queries.
The timing of Kasireddy’s turn has generated suspicions, with several wondering if this is a calculated move to avoid arrest or a response to new revelations made during previous rounds of questioning.
As the scam picked up public and media interest, Raj Kasireddy’s next meeting with the SIT may be critical to the case, perhaps revealing new angles in one of the state’s most controversial sagas.
