In a curious turn of events, Kodi Kathi Srinu, who was arrested prior to the 2019 elections, finds himself languishing in jail for more than four and a half years. The case against him holds a maximum punishment of three years, yet the trial remains stagnant, and his repeated bail petitions have been rejected. The reason? The alleged victim, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has not recorded his statement in the case, effectively stalling proceedings.
What adds intrigue to this situation is Jagan’s conspicuous absence from court appearances for the past four and a half years. Recently, he granted an appointment to Srinu’s mother and brother, only to cancel it at the last minute. Officials informed them that the Chief Minister was too busy to meet, leaving the family in limbo.
One can’t help but question the motive behind Jagan’s initial appointment and subsequent change of heart. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has already ruled out foul play or malicious intent behind the Kodi Kathi attack on Jagan.
However, the suspicion lingers that Jagan may not want Srinu acquitted before the upcoming elections, as it could be perceived as an attempt to frame him for political gain. As Srinu continues to await justice behind bars, the political machinations surrounding his case only deepen the mystery, leaving observers to wonder about the true motivations behind this prolonged legal saga.
