Nellore, July 2, 2025 - Former Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy has been granted bail in two cases related to Krishnapatnam Port and gravel mining, while his bail petitions in four other cases remain pending. The bail was granted by the local courts on Friday [1].

The bail was granted in connection with the case of illegal toll-gate at Krishnapatnam Port and another case registered by Venkatachalam police for forging the signature of Ongole MP Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy for mining gravel in Sarvepalle. However, the bail petitions in four other cases, including derogatory remarks on social media and illegal quartz mining, are still pending in the courts [1].

Govardhan Reddy has been in Nellore Central Prison for the past 45 days. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officials of Mangalagiri police station shifted him to Guntur for a few days in connection with the case of derogatory posts on social media against Sarvepalle MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy [1].

His daughter, Kakani Poojitha, claimed that the police had reopened a liquor case which was closed long ago. She alleged that the police were misusing power and that this was a case of political vendetta [1].
