Andhra Pradesh liquor scam: High Court grants bail to main accused Raj Kesireddy

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday (April 7, 2026) granted bail to Kesireddy Rajasekhar Reddy, alias Raj Kesireddy, the main accused in the alleged ₹3,200 crore Andhra Pradesh liquor scam.

The Supreme Court had rejected Mr. Kesireddy’s bail plea in February 2026, observing that corruption of such magnitude was not possible without a criminal nexus between bureaucrats and political leaders, and that he was not an ordinary person and could not compare himself with the other accused.
