It has been 2 month since Atchannaidu was arrested in the ESI scam along with 12 others. Till now no charge sheet was filed against any person. There is an A3 in their suspected list and he hasn’t been arrested and not even brought for investigation.
Now, the pressure began to mount on ACB as many started to believe that they are just concentrating to prevent the accused getting out on bail but they don’t have an actual case to keep the latter behind bars.
At this point… ACB senior officer Ravikumar who is supervising the ESI scam case suddenly came forward to the media. He used to tell the regular details that everyone knows on the name of exclusive interviews.
However, in this media interview he said some interesting things. He said that hundreds of crores of rupees are said to have been corrupted but he didn’t mention how much illegal property was seized from those caught.
Most interestingly, Ravikumar said that there are no proofs that Atchannaidu got any money through this scam but they are sure that he is involved in this multimillion scam.
The same ESI scam happened in Telangana and the ACB officials are so active to restore and seize the illegal amount unlike the officials in AP. They arrested people that got involved, showed bank statements from records and caught the unaccounted money along with proofs.
Now, many doubts started to rise on the AP government for the way they are over-enthusiastic during Atachanna’s arrest. By the behaviour of the ACB, it seems Atachanna is not the main culprit but the AP govt. is making sure that the entire case revolves around him.
ACB is not at all mentioning what rewards Atchanna got in this scam. They have no information about the unaccounted money or bank transactions that Atachanna got or allegedly did simultaneously.
So, on what grounds do they charge an ex-Minister, MLA without the seizure of a single rupee even after two months of intense investigation? For criticising the YSRCP in the last 5 years, it seems.
