Amaravati, 6 Sep

Rajampet YSRCP MP PV Midhun Reddy on Saturday got a five-day interim bail to be able to cast his vote in the vice-presidential election on 9 September, his advocate said.

According to Advocate T Nagarjuna Reddy, Midhun Reddy got an interim bail from 6 September to 11 September.

Andhra Pradesh Police arrested the MP on 19 July in the alleged Rs 3,200-crore liquor scam that happened during the erstwhile YSRCP regime.

"The ACB Court granted an interim bail to Midhun Reddy so that he can cast his vote in the vice-presidential election," Nagarjuna Reddy told PTI, adding that two sureties of Rs 50,000 were furnished for the interim bail.

Nagarjuna Reddy observed that Midhun Reddy should surrender himself back in the Rajahmundry Central Jail before 5 pm on 11 September.

Further, the lawyer noted that the court issued bail with the condition that Midhun Reddy should deposit his passport with the court, which he has already done.
