As cases are tightening around former CID ADG PV Sunil Kumar, who is accused of committing several irregularities during the YSRCP regime, his arrest is said to be inevitable.
In a fresh move, Deputy Speaker Raghuramakrishna Raju has filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) DG alleging that Sunil Kumar created fake depositors and embezzled lakhs of rupees from the money due to Agrigold victims, and that Rs 75 lakhs were siphoned off in the name of technological development in the CID.
On the other hand, the state government has ordered an inquiry into the irregularities committed by Sunil during the YSRCP government. Several complaints have been received against Sunil, who has left YSRCP groups behind, who have made obscene posts on social media against High Court judges in addition to filing illegal cases against innocent people.
When he was the CID chief, sedition cases were registered against those who posted on social media about the then CM Jaganmohan Reddy’s decisions and subjected them to custodial torture. If members of the opposition raised their voices, they would take them seriously and enter their houses at midnight and take them to the station.
Kamepalli Tulasibabu was also among those who tortured the then YSRCP MP Raghurama Raju in CID custody. It is learnt that Tulasibabu revealed key facts during the interrogation. When Sunil Kumar was the ADG of CID, a contract for Rs. 1.5 crore was signed with a Gujarat- based company for the development of technology in that department.
That company gave a subcontract to a person from AP. After completing the work, the contractor met Sunil Kumar for the bill. He immediately picked up the phone and threatened him by saying, ‘Do you want a bill? Do you want a case of supplying drugs?’ The subcontractor, who was furious, begged him to leave him alone.
However, to remain on record, he took Rs. 75 lakh from him and officially deposited it in his account. Deputy Speaker Raghuramakrishna Raju, who collected information on this, handed over the evidence to the ACB along with the accounts of whose accounts the amount had reached.
In a letter written to the ACB, Raghurama stated that Sunil Kumar, who worked as an IPS officer and often went to Dubai, was doing business there in the name of his sons along with benami. He submitted bank transactions and travel details. He raised suspicions that ‘Where did the money come from to do business for Sunil’s sons? Did he inform the government about the details of that business?’
He also alleged that Sunil, along with Tulasi Babu’s gang, had also threatened the people who had bought AgriGold land in the Hyderabad suburbs at the auction and collected money. In his complaint, he stated that the amount due to AgriGold victims was deposited in the accounts of 96 fake depositors in Ramakur, Bapatla district, and then threatened them and withdrew them. They have also provided the details of the respective accounts and phone numbers.
