Former Congress MLA Malladi Vishnu has reportedly amassed 600 Crore illegal wealth as per the probe carried out by the Special Investigations Team (SIT).
SIT arrived at this conclusion after investigating the spurious liquor case in Vishnu’s Swarna Bar in Krishnalanka, where adulterated liquor had claimed 5 lives. He was arrested in this case and has been released on bail.
As per SIT report, it collected the details of Vishnu’s assets from the sub-registrar offices in both Krishna and Guntur districts. SIT found out that Vishnu owns 28 acres of land in the Capital area of Andhra Pradesh among other assets. SIT might now recommend Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation which could prove more troublesome for the Congress leader.
Malladi Vishnu is a close associate of late Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy. He is believed to have amassed this wealth during YSR’s regime though illegal means.
On the other hand, Vishnu claimed that he does not have that kind of wealth as the SIT claims.
