ACB notices to TDP leader Pradeep

Hyderabad, July 19: The cash-for-vote case is taking new turns every day with ACB giving notices to some more regarding this case. The latest leader to get ACB notices was TDP leader Pradeep. ACB officials issued notices to Pradeep under CRPC 160. He was directed to appear before the court at 10.30 am tomorrow. Earlier also, ACB served notices under this section to TDP MLC candidate Vem Narender Reddy and two drivers. Vem Narender Reddy's son Krishna Keertan Reddy was also grilled by the ACB sleuths. Reacting to the ACB notices, TDP leader Pradeep denied of any connection to the cash-for-vote case. "Neither I nor TDP leaders have any link with the case. I doubt it is nothing but an act of vengeance of the government," he said. He said he had 100 % trust on courts and will appear before the ACB court without fail and will cooperate. Pradeep said he do not know about other accused in the case Sathupally MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah and TDP leader Vem Narender Reddy. 'I am a big leader but only an activist.' Pradeep is now Srinagar Colony division TDP president and according to sources, he is close to Nara Lokesh, son of AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
