Two other teams raided the residences of two businessmen, Bhaskar Reddy and Venkatesh Reddy.
The CBI teams had come from Hyderabad as Janardhana Reddy has been arrested for illegal mining in Andhra Pradesh.
He was detained Sep 5 at Bellary, his political base, and is now in Chanchalaguda prison in Hyderabad. Also jailed is managing director of Reddy-owned Obulapuram Mining Company B. V. Srinivas Reddy.
The two Reddys have applied for bail and hearing would resume in a CBI court in Hyderabad Monday.
