Jaganmohan Reddy, his auditor Vijay Sai Reddy and Jagati Publications (owned by the YSR Congress leader) are the accused, charged under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code in the second chargesheet.

According to the second chargesheet, several investors were lured into making investments in Jagati Publications at high premiums allegedly through "exaggerated and falsified" valuation reports, allegedly at the behest of Vijay Sai Reddy.

So far, the CBI has filed five chargesheets since March 31, 2012 and two supplementary chargesheets against Jaganmohan Reddy and other accused, naming three AP ministers in connection with the case relating to alleged quid pro quo investments in the Kadapa MP's companies.

Meanwhile, the court extended the remand of Jagan, Vijay Sai Reddy, former minister Mopidevi Venkatramana Rao, industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad and other accused till July 1.
