Hyderabad, May 28: YSR Congress Party leader Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on charges of corruption, will be produced in court Monday, officials said.

Jagan, as the MP popularly known, remained in Dilkusha Guest House, the CBI camp office. Charged with illegally amassing wealth, Jagan would be produced in the CBI court at the Nampally court complex after a medical examination.

The CBI, which arrested Jagan Sunday evening after three days of questioning about investments flowing into his companies after his father became the chief minister, is likely to seek his custody for 10 days for further interrogation.

The Nampally court complex is under police siege. CCTV cameras have also been installed around the complex to keep vigil on the movement of people.

All roads leading to the court complex have been sealed to prevent Jagan supporters from gathering.

Jagan's wife Bharathi, sister Sharmila and close aide Vijay Sai Reddy Monday morning called on Jagan at the guesthouse.

Bharathi, Sharmila and Jagan's mother Vijayamma were forcibly lifted from the guesthouse late Sunday night after they sat on 'dharna' on the road demanding that the CBI give them reasons for his arrest.

Police also arrested several leaders of YSR Congress party. Vijayamma and other family members later sat on the protest at their Lotus Pond residence.

The YSR Party has called for a shutdown across the state to protest Jagan's arrest.

Police have already imposed prohibitory orders and stepped up security in Hyderabad, Jagan's native Kadapa district and other parts of the state.

Jagan, 40, is one the richest MPs in the country with declared assets of Rs.356 crore last year.

Several Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) schools across India were hit with hoax bomb threats on Tuesday, just days after an explosion occurred near a CRPF school in Delhi. The threats, sent via email late Monday night, targeted schools in Delhi and Hyderabad, according to sources.

Earlier this week, a bomb exploded outside a CRPF school in Delhi’s Rohini area, causing significant damage to nearby vehicles and property. Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported.

In response to the blast, Delhi Police confiscated CCTV footage from nearby markets as part of their investigation. Sources indicate that surveillance footage captured a suspect at the scene, wearing a white T-shirt, displaying suspicious behavior the night before the explosion.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the explosive device had been hidden in a polythene bag, buried in a shallow pit, and covered with garbage. The blast caused a hole in the school's boundary wall and shattered the window panes and signboards of nearby shops.

Following the incident, the Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 4 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, Section 3 of the Indian Explosives Act, and other relevant sections.

The FIR states, "A case of an explosion caused by an unknown explosive substance has been registered, and the investigation continues." It also details the damage, noting that the blast left a hole in the boundary wall and affected nearby structures.

The targeted schools serve children from CRPF and other paramilitary families, and the recent threats have heightened concerns. In response, Delhi authorities have placed the city on high alert, ramping up security measures, especially in markets, ahead of the Diwali festival.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav stated on Sunday, October 27, that his party is prepared to contest the Maharashtra Assembly elections independently if the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) does not include them in the alliance. 

Yadav assured that the SP would only contest in constituencies where it has a strong organizational presence and would ensure its participation does not affect the MVA’s overall prospects.

Several I.N.D.I.A. alliance members have expressed dissatisfaction with the Congress over seat-sharing arrangements in upcoming state polls. 

Both the CPI(ML)L and the RJD voiced frustration after being offered only 3-4 seats each for the Jharkhand elections by the Congress.
