Apparently the cases relate to investments made by various companies in Jagan's firms as quid pro quo for various favours bestowed on them during the tenure of his father late YS rajasekhara reddy as chief minister between 2004 and 2009 and several former ministers and bureaucrats are also accused in the case. Jagan is currently out on bail, having spent time in jail as an "un-convicted criminal prisoner" in the chanchalguda Central Prison from May 2012 to september 2013.

 

Moreover Jagan contended lakhs of rupees of public money has to be spent for his security and other protocol requirements in view of his position.
