CBI today issued notices to the former Chief Minister and TDP Chief Mr Chandrababu Naidu, his wife Bhuvaneswari and son Lokesh Naidu beginning its preliminary investigation into his alleged illegal properties.
The CBI has taken up the preliminary investigation on the orders of the High Court which asked the investigating agency to probe the allegations that Chandrababu Naidu had resorted to illegalities and indulged in favors to Eenadu group chairman Ramoji Rao, industrialists Sujana Choudary, Nama Nageswara rao and civil contractor CM Ramesh and others during his stint as CM.
The high court issued the orders on a petition filed by the Pulivendula YSR Congress MLA Vijayamma making allegations against 13 persons including Chandrababu, his family members, and friends and TDP leaders.
Some of the respondents named in the Vijayamma petition including Ramoji Rao went to the High Court seeking vacation of its earlier orders. Earlier, Supreme Court dismissed their petitions but advised them to approach the HC. (JUBS)
