Alleging that the former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party national president Nara Chandrababu Naidu indulged in manipulation of tender process to allot the work order for the Phase-1 of the A.P. Fibernet Project of ₹330 crore in 2015 during the TDP rule to a favoured company, by flouting the rules, the A.P. Crime Investigation Department (APCID) filed a charge sheet on Friday, at the ACB Special Court in Vijayawada.
The CID alleged before the Court of Special Judge for SPE & ACB cases -cum-III Additional District & Sessions Judge, Vijayawada, that Mr. Chandrababu Naidu was responsible for removing M/s Terasoftware Pvt. Ltd. from the blacklist at that time and awarding the tender to it. The then Chief Minister also influenced the government officers to include Vemuri Harikrishna Prasad (another accused in this case), in various tender evaluation committees.
The investigation agency informed the court that Mr. Hari Krishna Prasad, Managing Director of Net India, Hyderabad, was the then member of the Governing Council, e-Governance Authority, Electronics & IT Agency and Innovation Society, and member of Technical Evaluation Committee.
