Will TDP MLA Maganti Gopinath be arrested?

The stage, it appears, is set for the arrest of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation TDP president and Jubilee Hills MLA Maganti Gopinath in the Cash for Vote scam.

Sources said that the the cash that TDP MLA Revanth Reddy tried to give as a bribe to Anglo Indian MLA Stephenson to make him vote for the TDP in the MLC elections came from Maganti Gopinath. Gopinath's link has come to light during the ACB probe into the Cash for Vote scam.

Sources said that Gopinath would be served a notice and then the arrest could be made on Friday or Saturday. Already, Revanth Reddy has been arrested in connection with the case and is currently out on conditional bail.
