“We are going through various aspects of this multi-dimensional and unique scam. We will soon register the case. The CBI now proposes to establish a multi-disciplinary investigation team with headquarters at Hyderabad. A joint consultative and coordination mechanism is being worked out with concerned ministries, departments and institutions for providing necessary assistance to the CBI,” said Harsh Behl, a CBI spokesman.
Meanwhile, a city court in Hyderabad has dismissed the bail petitions of Satyam founder B Ramalinga Raju, his brother Rama Raju and former CFO V Srinivas, all of them whom are lodged in the Chanchalguda Jail here.
