Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday grilled Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Sathupally MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah for a second day in connection with the ‘Cash-for-Vote’ scam. After questioning the legislator at the ACB headquarters in Banjara Hills, the investigative agency presented him in the court and later shifted him back to Cherlapally Jail.
The ACB officials questioned him for two days (July 9 and 10) to gather more information about his role and the involvement of others in the scam.
