Illegal mining case: Supplementary chargesheet filed against Sabitha

The supplementary chargesheet cites 104 documents and 36 witnesses.

“Their role (Sabitha and Kripanandam) in the case has been established and hence we are filing this supplementary chargesheet,” a CBI counsel told the court adding they also filed a petition seeking to delete Sabitha's name as an witness in the case.

The central agency had earlier named mining baron Janardhan Reddy, his brother-in-law B V Srinivas Reddy (both arrested on September 5, 2011 from Bellary and presently in jail) and three others including the mining firm in its first chargesheet filed in December 2011 in the illegal iron ore mining scam that spans across Andhra Pradesh, having its origin in Karnataka.

It later added the name of another accused IAS officer Y Srilakshmi, and a supplementary chargesheet was filed against her in March 2012.
