Jagan Mohan Reddy has also raised serious objection over the jail officials over bringing him in a ordinary bus despite him having 'Z' category security. The court ordered that he be given a bullet-proof car. After hearing the arguments, the court sought an explanation from the jail officials and adjourned the hearing on it to June 14.

Jagan was arrested on May 27 by the CBI after three-day questioning at the Dilkusha Guest House over alleged investments to the tune of several hundred crores from various individuals and companies into his businesses, for the alleged favours granted by the then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy's regime during 2004-09.

In its three charge sheets filed against Jagan and others, the CBI alleged that he and his late father hatched a conspiracy to defraud the government with Jagan influencing Rajasekhara Reddy in doling out certain favours to various investors, who made investments of several crores into Jagan's businesses.
