ACB officers in a huddle as BRS wonders 'what's next'
The New Indian Express Hyderabad|December 18, 2024
WITH Governor Jishnu Dev Varma giving his nod for the registration of a case against former minister KT Rama Rao under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act in the Formula-E race case, political circles have gone into overdrive, with the big question being asked: "What next?" Sources in the state government and Secretariat say that the file approved by the Governor reached the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) office on Monday evening, paving the way for the agency to proceed as per the law.

ACB sources disclosed that the agency director held discussions with senior officers to decide the next course of action. In all likelihood, the ACB director may order a team led by an officer of the rank of Superintendent of Police to investigate the case.

The sources said Rama Rao is likely to be named Accused-1 (A-1), and IAS officer Arvind Kumar as A-2. The agency will brief the ACB special court about the FIR, they added.
