Satyam case: Court records bank official's statement
Hyderabad: A local court trying the multi-crore Satyam fraud case today recorded the statement of an official of Bank of Baroda as a witness in the case.
U Venkateswarlu, then manager of BoB Bowenapally branch in which Satyam Computers has been maintaining current accounts, said the company availed a bank guarantee of Rs 2.80 crore between 2001 and 2008.
The SCSL still has an outstanding of Rs 1.9 crore to be cleared and the total transactions during the period were about Rs 6 crore, he informed the court.
B Ramalinga Raju the prime accused in the case, who attended the court in the morning for a brief period, left the court halfway.
Meanwhile, Dr Ajit Kumar, a gastroenterologist in Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), who has been treating Ramalinga Raju for Hepatitis-C, said the former Chairman has to be administered six more injections as part of the treatment.
"He has not consulted us after he was sent back to the prison. His injection is due today. However we have not heard from him so far today," Dr Ajit Kumar told PTI.
When contacted, Chanchalguda prison authorities said Raju did not seek any permission from them to go to NIMS for taking the injection.
"Ramalinga Raju has not sought any permission from us for the injection. If a request comes from him, our prison doctors will examine it and take a decision," Chanchalguda Jail Superintendent K Umapathi said.
In January 2009, Raju had admitted to the multi crore accounting fraud at Satyam Computer, now known as Mahindra Satyam - a part of the Mahindra group.
