Hyderabad: TPCC working president A Revanth Reddy appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in Basheerbagh on Tuesday in cash for vote scam. The ED officials quizzed him from 11:30 am to 7:30 pm for about eight hours and inquired him about the Rs 50 lakh which was given to nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson during the MLC elections. They also quizzed him about Rs 4.5 crore which Revanth Reddy had promised to pay to Stephenson.

They inquired him about the bank transactions made by him. The inquiry was based on the charge sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau officials. The officials already questioned another Congress leader Vem Narender Reddy and his son and Revanth’s aide Udayasimha and sought clarifications from them. Earlier a case was registered against him in connection with the cash for vote scam on May 30, 2015.

A four-member ED team questioned Revanth Reddy. The Income Tax and ACB officials were also present. He came to the ED office with his aide and a chartered accountant to answer the questions posed by the ED officials. After the inquiry, speaking to the media, Revanth Reddy said that the ED officials had called him on Wednesday also and he answered all the questions raised by them on the strength of documents.
