TDP member and ex-minister Atchannaidu was arrested a few weeks ago by the ACB, after the ESB scam came into light, and it was learned that Atchannaidu had a big hand in it. As part of the scam, Atchannaidu and all the others involved in the scam had purchased medicines and other medical equipment for far higher prices than normal. This was a perfect case of money laundering.
When Atchannaidu was initially arrested, a bail petition was filed in the High Court, and the TDP extensively said that Atchannaidu had no role in it and that it was pretty evident. However, after the High Court rejected Atchannaidu’s bail petition, people started questioning Atchannaidu’s role in the scam, and why he wasn’t given bail when he was innocent.
After Atchannaidu was initially arrested, he had developed a medical condition due to a recent surgery he went through, and as a result, was hospitalised for a few days. Once he started feeling better, Atchannaidu was transferred to jail, where he is now stationed. Atchannaidu is serving his jail term on a remand basis, given that he’s falling sick very often, and has to be taken to the hospital every now and then.
ESB scam had taken place in Telangana too, but there was no involvement of any politician, because of which the case hadn’t become a big sensation as in the case of Andhra Pradesh’s.
Ex-minister Pithani Satyanarayana is also rumored to be a part of this scam, his secretary Murali Mohan already having been arrested as part of the scam, by the ACB. Pithani’s son is also rumored to be a part of the scam.
