Bharati, wife of Kadapa MP and YSR Congress president Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy, who has been meeting her husband at the Central Prison at Chanchalguda for the past three days, was denied a ‘mulaqat' on Friday.
The reason given by the jail authorities was that they were drawing unnecessary attention about the number of visits.
According to the rules, ‘mulaqat' was to be allowed with an inmate only twice a week.
After waiting for about half-an-hour, she left the place, visibly disappointed. She was the sole visitor for Mr. Reddy at the jail and after her experience, none else in the family made an appearance.
The day started with expectant family members looking forward to having him back at his Lotus Pond residence here.
As the hours passed by, the wait turned out to be disappointing.
The bail petition was filed in the Special Court for CBI cases as well as the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and the family hoped that either or both courts would grant interim bail so that he could get back on the campaign trail.
As the clock struck 5 in the evening and with the CBI court rejecting the bail plea, it became clear that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy would spend yet another night in prison.

Newspapers are meant to disseminate news for the understanding by the readers.In its sojourn the writers may indulge at times in flowery language with vicarious idioms and phrases to show off their eloquence and command over the language. However flowery language when carried to the extreme at the cost of clarity or even mere understanding the writing becomes an exercise in futility and frustration. By the way what is meant by Mulaqat ?
The action of the Jail Authorities is correct.Law makers cannot be law breakers.Jagan's wife was misusing her husband's position by visiting him daily to keep him informed about the developments in violation of the rules.
I would like to get a copy of "The Hindu"'s English dictionary so that i can understand some words such as‘mulaqat' :P
