MLA Poaching case: SIT brings in Pratap, Nanda Kumar’s wife for questioning

On Friday, the Special Investigation Team investigating the MLA poaching case questioned city-based lawyer Pratap Pogulakonda. Chitra Lekha, Nanda Kumar’s wife, who was previously arrested, also appeared before the SIT on Friday.

Meanwhile, Srinivas, a lawyer from Karimnagar who was questioned for three days in a row by SIT officials in connection with the case, did not appear and requested permission because he needed to undergo surgery.

The other two were questioned separately beginning at 11 a.m., allegedly about their ties to the three suspects in the case, Ramchandra Bharati alias Satish Sharma, Nanda Kumar, and Simhayaji Swami. The interrogation was taking place at the Integrated Command Control Centre.

According to sources, their statements were recorded in addition to verifying their call data records and bank statements to establish financial transactions with the suspects.

While Pratap was questioned by SIT officials about his relationship with the suspects, Chitra Lekha was questioned about financial matters involving Nanda Kumar, the other two suspects, and some other private individuals. The SIT interrogated them until 5.30 p.m.
