Reportedly the police in hyderabad on thursday said that it had registered cases against senior bureaucrats; both retired and in-service officers, for allegedly misusing public funds. Meanwhile P V Ramesh, who is presently serving as the Additional Chief Secretary in the Chief Minister's Office in andhra pradesh, the Saifabad police, which is investigating the case, booked cases against retired IAS officer C V S K Sarma and ex-Chief Secretary P K Mohanty.
Furthermore the police acted on the directions of a court, which was hearing a petition which alleged that the senior officials misused public funds by issuing government Orders (GOs) that paid for the legal counsels of chief minister Y S jagan Mohan Reddy, in his disproportionate assets (DA) case and police have now registered a case against Sharma, Mohanty and Ramesh under Sections 403 (Dishonest misappropriation of property), 406 (Criminal breach of trust), 409 (Criminal breach of trust by public servant), 417 and 420 (Cheating) and 120B (Criminal Conspiracy), besides other relevant sections of the IPC.
Moreover the allegations against jagan relate to the period 2004-2009, when Jagan's father YS rajasekhara reddy was the Chief Minister. Perhaps the cbi and Enforcement Directorate (ED) which are probing the cases, said that jagan, in criminal conspiracy with others, received bribes from various persons /companies in the guise of investments in his group companies as 'quid pro quo' for undue favors granted to them by the then Andhra Pradesh government.
