The CBI today filed a charg esheet against former Karnataka Tourism minister Gali Janardhana Reddy and four others in the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) case.
"We, today, filed a charge sheet against five accused in the OMC case under different sections of IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act," CBI Joint Director (Hyderabad Zone) VV Lakshmi Narayana told reporters here.
The charge sheet was filed against Janardhana Reddy, who owns Obulapuram Mining Company Pvt Ltd, his brother-in-law and OMC Managing Director BV Srinivas Reddy, former Director of Mines and Geology (Andhra Pradesh) VD Rajagopal, the then Assistant Director of Mines and Geology late R Linga Reddy and the OMC, he said.
They have been charged under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 409 (Criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating) and Section 471 (using as genuine a forged document) of IPC and relevant sections under Prevention of Corruption Act.
However, the charge sheet does not name senior IAS officer Y Srilakshmi, who was arrested on November 28 on charges of abusing her official position and favouring OMC.
Her name was not included in the chargesheet as we are still collecting evidence with regard to allegations against Srilakshmi, the CBI director said and indicated that she could be named in the supplementary chargesheet.
Replying to a query on alleged role of political leaders and ministers in the OMC scam, Lakshmi Narayana said the investigation into the case was still on and they had sought permission from the court for further investigation adding "The chargesheet has been filed against all those against whom investigation is complete...depending on evidence a supplementary chargesheet will definitely be filed."
