Fibernet case: A.P. govt. allows CID to seek attachment of properties of accused

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has authorised the Crime Investigation Department (CID) to approach the ACB court in Vijayawada under sections 3 and 10(a)(b) of the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance-1944 for the attachment of properties worth about ₹17.75 crore of the accused in the Fibernet Case. 

Harish Kumar Gupta, Principal Secretary, Home Department, issued G.O. Ms. 48 on Thursday, maintaining, “The Additional Director General of Police, Crime Investigation Department, and Competent Authority is requested to take necessary further action.” The Hindu accessed the G.O.

In the G.O., the government alleged that the prime accused in this case and TDP national president Nara Chandrababu Naidu conspired with the accused Vemuru Harikrishna Prasad (A2), and Tummala Gopichand (A5), and a director of Tera Software Limited (A4), and awarded the AP Fibernet Project Phase-1 in favour of Tera Software, in a fraudulent manner by accepting false experience certificates.
