Hyderabad, June 5 ,2015: The ACB officials of Telangana have decided to serve notices to AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in the cash for vote scam only after interrogating arrested MLA Revanth Reddy and his aides, according to a leading vernacular daily. Despite the ACB establishing that Chandrababu had telephoned nominated MLA Stephenson, ACB is trying to collect more evidence to establish the sources of Rs.50 lakh offered to Stephenson. ACB has come to know that Rs.50 lakh offered to Stephenson by Revanth Reddy was part of Rs.2.5 Cr drawn from a bank near the NTR Trust Bhavan. ACB is of the view that the amount was drawn to pay to five MLAs at the rate of Rs.50 lakh each as advances for seeking their votes in MLC polls, the daily said. ACB wants to know the person who had drawn the amount and why the amount was shifted to a cinema producer's house. The investigating officials think that interrogation of Revanth and his arrested aides will bring out more details. ACB has also established that the boss referred by Revanth in his conversation with Stephenson was Chandrababu.Recently, Revanth had given an interview to a TV channel in which he referred to Chandrababu as his boss. The ACB officials have used this footage as evidence to establish that the boss referred by Revanth was none other than Chandrababu.
