The CBI on Wednesday served notices to Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Minister Gangula Kamalakar and Rajya Sabha MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra after they were found to be allegedly associated with a fake CBI officer arrested from Tamil Nadu Bhawan in New Delhi.
A senior CBI official confirmed that a CBI team arrived at Kamalakar’s residence in Karimnagar and served notices to the Minister. Another CBI team served notice to Ravichandra.
“They have been called to join the investigation at CBI Delhi headquarters on Thursday morning. They will be questioned in a case of fake CBI officer arrested a few days back in Delhi who claimed himself a senior IPS officer and accepting undue pecuniary advantage from various persons in lieu of their work done,” he said.
On November 28, CBI arrested Kovvi Reddy Srinivas Rao of Chinnawaltair in Vishakhapatnam for impersonating a CBI Joint Director.
In a statement, CBI mentioned that they had registered a case against a private person, a resident of Chinnawaltair, Vishakhapatnam on the allegations of impersonating a senior IPS officer of CBI.
The accused was staying at Tamil Nadu House allegedly impersonating himself as Additional Director General of Police (ADGP).
“He has been impersonating himself as an IPS officer and Joint Director of CBI in lieu of undue advantage from unknown private persons for lobbying with unknown public servants for getting a favourable response in various matters which include the cases registered by different central investigative agencies,” the CBI had said.
