On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court directed CBI, not to take any coercion against businessman Pradeep Koneru, a witness in the ED case probing allegations of bribery and extortion against former CBI Chief AP Singh and middleman Moin Qureshi.
The court has also asked Koneru to cooperate in the CBI investigation as and when needed.
According to Koneru, the court was told that he had an apprehension of arrest by CBI which wanted to make him an accused in the same case.
According to the reports, in August 2018, CBI teams from Delhi had raided the Hyderabad based house of Koneru to collect evidence in a corruption case involving controversial Moin Qureshi and former CBI director AP Singh.
It was alleged that Moin Qureshi helped Koneru in favour of his two family members accused in the Emaar case probed by CBI Hyderabad unit.
