Hyderabad: A former judge, who was an accused in a cash-for-bail case allegedly involving former Karnataka Minister Gali Janardhana Reddy, was found dead under suspicious circumstances at his residence in Hyderabad, police said on Monday.
"D Prabhakar Rao was found dead by his son and wife yesterday morning," T Laxmi Narayana, inspector of police Tukaramget said.
"Rao was alone at home on Saturday night. When his family members returned home next morning, they found him lying motionless on a sofa," he added.
In July 2012, ACB had arrested Prabhakar Rao, a Family Court-cum-3rd Additional district and sessions judge of Srikakulam, along with another serving judge, K Lakshminarasimha Rao. They were released on bail later.
The duo had allegedly struck a deal for Rs 10 crore to get Gali Janardhan Reddy bail in a case filed against the former Karnataka minister by CBI.
Prabhakar Rao had allegedly contacted Pattabhirama Rao for facilitating bail to the former Karnataka minister.
