Charging that
the Chanchalguda Jail authorities did not respond to his queries about
communication facilities (like mobile phone) being provided by them to YSR
Congress leader, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy while he is in judicial custody, TDP
leader Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said on Friday that he has invoked the RTI (Right
to Information) to secure the same information.
Last week,
Yanamala claimed that Jagan was using cell phones being provided by the jail
officials and sought the call details of the same. On Tuesday, Yanamala filed
an RTI application seeking the call details and the details of the staff
deployed to attend to the undertrial VIP prisoners.
Yanamala told
TOI that he had sought these details from the jail officials as he suspected
the jail staff was deployed to help out Jagan. "We have reliable reports
on Jagan using communication gadgets including the mobile phones of the
staffers to keep tab on politics and to monitor his party affairs. When I
brought this to the notice of the jail authorities, they failed to react. So, I
am forced to seek information under RTI," said Yanamala.
Yanamala has
also sought under RTI the details of visitors permitted to meet Jagan between
May 15 and October 20 this year, copies of the log book pertaining to the
visitors, and the recordings of the close circuit camera installed in the jail.
