Dharmana appears before court

Roads and Buildings Minister B Dharmana Prasada Rao on Wednesday appeared before the CBI court in connection with the Vanpic case.

Though Dharmana resigned from the cabinet after being named in the charge-sheet, the government did not accept his papers and the cabinet took a decision not to prosecute him. The cabinet decision was, however, sent back by Governor ESL Narasimhan for reconsideration and the minister has been attending duties. (INN)
