Hyderabad: A local court on Saturday remanded
Vijay Raghava, a senior official of the Emaar Hill Township
Pvt Ltd (EHTPL) to judicial custody till January 30 in
connection with the Emaar-APIIC case.
"We would like to clarify that one of the associates
of EHTPL was called for inquiry (by CBI). He (Raghava) has
been remanded to judicial custody till Monday. As always EHTPL
continues to cooperate with the investigating agency," EHTPL,
which is a joint venture between Emaar Properties and Andhra
Pradesh Industrial Infrastructures Corporation (APIIC), said
in a statement.
Raghava was the third accused to be arrested in
connection with the case after the CBI had filed an FIR in
August last year. Businessman Koneru Prasad and Sunil Reddy, a
relative of Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, were two others
who were arrested earlier by the central agency.
The Emaar-APIIC case relates to the alleged
irregularities in transfer of land and sale of villas and
apartments in a township, jointly developed here by APIIC and
a Dubai-based infrastructure firm Emaar Group Company.
