PRASAD IS A GOOD FRIEND: NAGARJUNA

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT HYDERABAD, JUNE 30

After the mulaqat, where Nagarjuna met industrial­ist Nimmagadda Prasad at the Chanchalgu­da Jail on Saturday, the actor briefly spoke to reporters who were waiting outside. He said that Mr Prasad was his good friend and they used to meet daily till he was put behind bars. He also made it clear that he had only came to meet Mr Prasad as he hadn’t seen him in the recent past due to his arrest which was very “unfortunat­e”.

The CBI has named Mr Prasad as the 12th accused in Jagan Mohan Reddy illegal assets case.

He had allegedly invested nearly `800 crore in the companies owned by Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, in exchange of around 15,000 acres of land for his Vadarevu And Nizampatna­m Port and Industrial Corridor project when Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy was the chief minister.
