The CBI sleuths who tried to meet the Kadapa MP to serve notices to him on Monday to appear before them at Hyderabad on Tuesday, couldn't meet Avinash Reddy and had to handover the notices to his personal assistant Raghava Reddy.
According to reliable sources, the Kadapa MP who collected the CBI notices from his PA later on Monday evening, communicated to the CBI sleuths that he shall appear before them after five days since he was caught up in the middle of pre-scheduled meetings and commitments.
