CBI searches ex-judge house

The CBI has intensified its probe into the Gali Janardhan Reddy cash-for-bail issue after searching the residences of the middlemen, retired district judge T.V. Chalapathi Rao and his brother T.V. Srinivasa Rao, at Chilakaluripet town on Saturday.
Mr Chalapathi Rao, meanwhile, has been hospitalised and is in the ICU at Care Hospital.
The CBI has decided to add the Rs 3 crore that was seized during the recent raids to the crime proceeds money in the Obulapuram mining scam case. With this, money seized in the OMC scam so far has touched Rs 15 crore. CBI officials had seized cash and 67 kg of gold ornaments in September 2011 when Mr Janardhan Reddy was arrested. The CBI has said that the latest amount also belonged to Mr Janardhan Reddy and was brought to the city from Bellary.
No FIR, however, has been issued in the cash-for-bail case. “We have searched the houses of Mr Chalapathi Rao and his brother Mr Srinivasa Rao in Guntur. If the High Court issues orders to book an FIR we will do so,” said a CBI source.
The state Anti-Corruption Bureau, too, has not received any complaints so far.
CBI officials also visited the Guntur branch of the State Bank of India and verified the financial transactions of those facing allegations. They also checked with the sub-registrar whether any properties had been brought.
On Saturday, the search went on for three hours and officials questioned Mr Srinivasa Rao and his relatives in the town.
Speaking to the media later, Mr Srinivasa Rao said that his brother had left Chilakaluripet town 20 years ago and since then they have been maintaining a casual relationship.
Meanwhile, Mr Chalapathi Rao is on ventilation at Care Hospitals in Banjara Hills. He was admitted to Musheerabad Care Hospital on May 31 soon after the news of CBI court judge T. Pattabhi Rama Rao’s suspension broke. The hospital said on Saturday that his blood pressure and other vital signs were out of control.

I want to begin with a little story that was told to me by a leading executive at Aptech. He was exercising in a gym with a lot of younger people.

Shekhar Kapur’s Bandit Queen didn’t make the cut. Neither did Shaji Karun’s Piravi, which bagged 31 international awards.
