CBI court has permitted YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and former minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana, who are presently lodged in the Chanchalguda jail as undertrial prisoners to cast their votes in the Presidential poll on Thursday.

While upholding the petitions of both to be allowed to cast their votes as per their constitutional rights, the CBI court has directed the Director General of Police and the Commissioner of Police to provide ample security to both of them and take them to the Assembly complex where polling would be held, in a special vehicle. The police were also instructed to bring both back soon after they cast their votes.

Earlier the CBI, while stating that it had no objection to the two casting their votes, urged the court to ensure that they do not interact with any one while in the Assembly premises while casting their votes.
