CBI has called Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, son of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, for questioning on November 4 in connection with alleged multi-crore iron ore mining scam.

The agency is probing alleged nexus between Jagan and Janardhana Reddy whose company Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) has been accused of violating mining norms in the Ananthpuram disctrict of Andhra Pradesh, CBI sources said.

The clearance for mining leases to OMC was given during the tenure of Rajasekhara Reddy as Chief Minister.

CBI has recently questioned the then cabinet colleagues of late Rajasekhara Reddy in connection with the mining scam as it found that mining leases for OMC were cleared in an unusual haste, they said.

Kadapa MP Jagan is also facing allegations of amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income as well as alleged dilution of stake of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructural Corporation (APIIC) which is having a joint venture with Emaar for the development of township on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

The sources said CBI has called Jagan for questioning in connection with these allegations on November 4 at the Hyderabad office of the agency.
