Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)
Bangalore, Aug 10: Former minister with considerable clout, Katta Subrahmanya Naidu, who was very close to former Chief Minister of the state, B S Yeddyurappa, and his son, Katta Jagadish, are behind the bars now. The father-son duo, and their associate, V Srinivas, managing director of Itasca Software, have been allotted accommodation at Parappana Agrahara Jaill here. The three also have got serial prisoner badge numbers, 7801, 7802, and 7803.
All the above three have been remanded to judicial custody relating to the alleged scam involving acquisition of land by Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board. They arrived at jail at around 6 pm on Monday. They have been given rooms at the section meant for dignitaries, and added security has been arranged.
It is learnt, Katta, who was flying high being a minister and leading a royal life, was dreaming of getting a plum portfolio during the present cabinet formation. He was confident of getting bail, and had made arrangements for offering special puja at Vaishavi Temple. After getting shocked at the denial of bail, Katta has been grief-stricken and silent, jail sources said. On Monday night he did not consume any food, but slept after drinking water.
Katta Jagadish, on the other hand, who was once earlier jailed earlier relating to the bribery case, is cheerful even behind the bars. He speaks to everyone. He, his father, and Srinivas, had breakfast on Tuesday morning. They read the newspaper, but Katta Subrahmanya Naidu’s mood was off again, after seeing that almost all newspaper carried news of his being jailed, it is learnt.
