The main accused in the Sahiti Infra scam B Lakshmi Narayana and his family members are apparently not bothering to appear before the Enforcement Directorate. They evaded the ED officials thrice by choosing not to appear before the probe agency. In this backdrop, the ED has decided to file a petition in court seeking directions to the accused to cooperate with the investigation.
On the pretext of pre-launch of the high-rise apartments, the Sahiti Infra collected Rs 900 crore from 2500 customers, including Rs 539 crore collected from 1700 from the customers of the Sahiti Sravani Elite touted to be constructed in Ameenpur. In this context, the police registered 46 FIRs pertaining to the scandal.
In December last year, the CCS police in Hyderabad arrested Sahiti Infra MD Lakshmi Narayana. The ED registered money laundering prevention case against him and initiated probe into the case. The ED officials visited the house and offices of Lakshmi Narayana and his family members, thrice but they are not available. Therefore, the ED officials decided to move petition in court seeking directions to the accused to cooperate with the probe agency.
