Bail Denied to Former Minister Jogi Ramesh, Three Others in Spurious Liquor Case
A special court in Andhra Pradesh on Thursday rejected bail applications filed by former Minister Jogi Ramesh and three others in connection with a spurious liquor case. The court observed that the allegations were serious and involved public health risks, making it imperative to ensure a thorough investigation.
The case pertains to the distribution and sale of illicit liquor that allegedly caused harm in several districts. Authorities have stated that the accused were allegedly involved in procuring and supplying the spurious liquor, which posed a significant threat to consumers.
Police have been conducting a detailed probe, including raids and seizure of stock, to trace the sources and the network involved in the illegal trade. The court’s decision to deny bail underscores the gravity of the charges and the need to maintain public safety. Investigations are ongoing, and further arrests are not ruled out as authorities seek to dismantle the entire criminal operation.
