Mining czar and former Karnataka tourism minister Gali Janardhan Reddy, who has been in the jail for nearly two months in connection with the illegal iron ore mining case, has fed up with the ill-treatment being given to him by the Chanchalguda jail authorities.
He, along with his brother-in-law B V Srinivasa Reddy, made a petition in the CBI special court on Monday, seeking “special prisoner” status for them in the jail.
“In view of our social status and health conditions, we request you to allot us “A” category cell in the jail,” they requested.
At present, Gali and Srinivasa Reddy are being treated as ordinary prisoners. If they get special status, they would have a spacious cell along with cot and bed; aircoolers, special food from outside and clothes. The court has sought objections from the CBI and also the jail authorities and posted the case to Wednesday.
