Ananthapuram District Court today remanded two more persons arrested in the illegal transportation of Satya Sai Baba’s wealth to judicial custody till June 23.When police presented Suhan Setty and Sekhar to the court this morning, the court sent them to remand. Earlier, the same court had ordered judicial remand of Mr Harishananda Shetty till June 27.
It may be mentioned that Bagepalli police had recovered Rs.35 lakh from Harishananda Shetty after chasing and intercepting his vehicle at a check post in the district Saturday night.
Again, the Ananthapuram police on Sunday morning recovered more than Rs. 5 Cr from two gunny bags being transported in a RTC bus to Bangalore from Puttaparthy and arrested two men belonging to Tamil Nadu.
The arrests and seizure of money confirm earlier reports that the trust members had illegally shifted crores of rupees and gold belonging to the trust owned by the late Satya Sai Baba. It may be mentioned that a section of the AP media reported some days ago that two truck loads of gold were illegally transported to Bangalore from Puttaparthy. The allegations were denied by the Trust members then.
