“I have seen media reports that have reported that FIR’s have been registered against me on complaints by CEO, HCA. I want to state that these are all false & motivated allegations & I am in no way connected with the allegations. I will reply to the motivated allegations against me at an appropriate time. This is just a stunt pulled by my rivals to ruin my reputation. We shall stay strong and fight harder,” he said on X.
In his complaint to the Hyderabad Police, the HCA CEO stated that in view of the earlier reports submitted by various parties to the Telangana High Court, alleging misappropriation of funds, a CA firm was involved in this case in August this year to carry out a forensic audit review for a period of three years prior to Mar 1, 2023.
