While granting the bail, the court held that the apprehension of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that the main accused in quid pro quo investments case would tamper with evidence at the present stage was unfounded.

The investigating agency has also referred the matter of 16 “suitcase” companies named in the FIR to the Enforcement Directorate and the I-T Department.

Mr. Jagan, who broke away from the Congress in 2010 following differences with the ruling party leadership, was arrested by the CBI on May 27 last on the charges of influencing quid pro quo investments into his firms. He is likely to be released from Chanchalguda prison on Tuesday after the completion of formalities for his bail in the special court.
