HYDERABAD: The family of Mr B Ramalinga Raju, the main accused in the multi-crore fraud at Satyam Computer, has approached a local court seeking a direction to de-freeze bank accounts and return seized electronic items.
In two separate petitions filed in the XIV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court by kins of Mr Raju, eldest son and vice-chairman of Maytas Infra Mr B Teja Raju urged the court to direct investigating agency CBI to de-freeze three savings accoun ts in HDFC Bank which were freezed during the course of investigation by Andhra Pradesh CID before handing over the case to the CBI.
In his petition, Mr Teja Raju said his firm deals with mega projects including irrigation and laying of roads and being a businessman, “I have to deal with the accounts for maintaining my business”.
