Yet another IAS Officer arrested by CBI
YESTERDAY morning, he was the Principal Secretary, Home Ministry in the Government of Andhra Pradesh – by afternoon, he was arrested and produced before a CBI court and he spent last night as an accused in CBI custody. If he does not get a bail tomorrow, he will have to be in a jail for sometime – a jail, which was under his control as Home Secretary. This is the sad story of BP Acharya, a 1983 batch IAS officer. The CBI registered a case against him under Sections 120B, 420, 409, 420, 477A of Indian Penal Code and Sec. 13(2), 13(1) (c) & (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act on the allegation of execution of a real estate project at Manikonda in Hyderabad with the connivance of certain public servants of the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh.
The accused IAS officer was posted as Vice Chairman & Managing Director/CMD of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), Hyderabad during the period 2005-2009 and the integrated project was being executed by the Hyderabad based private Real Estate Company under his supervision.
Y. Srilakshmi, another senior IAS officer of the State is already in jail in another case.
