Raju appears in court

Hyderabad, August 25: After a gap of ten months, the main accused in the Satyam scam, B Ramalinga Raju, today made a dramatic appearance before a local court, which is trying India’s largest corporate fraud running into about Rs 14,000 crore.

Ramalinga Raju had been avoiding appearing in the court since September last year citing health reasons.

He was granted bail by the Andhra Pradesh High Court last week. He was ordered to appear before the trial court for every hearing once he is discharged.

A frail-looking Raju, who is reportedly suffering from hepatitis C, walked into the Nampally Criminal Court complex accompanied by doctors from the Nizams Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS).
