The Supreme Court on 18 July denied anticipatory bail to YSRCP MP PV Midhun Reddy in the ₹3,200 crore Andhra liquor scam. The SIT, probing alleged corruption during YSRCP’s 2019–2024 rule, issued a lookout notice for Reddy. Accused of favouritism and kickbacks, the case also involves Raj Kasireddy, with ED and SIT investigating under IPC sections 420, 409, and 120B.
