The CBI interrogation of former minister Dharmana Prasada Rao in connection with the land allotments of Lepakshi Knowledge hub has ended.

Speaking to the media after coming out from the Dilkusha Guest House, Dharmana said that CBI grilled him on the land allotments to the Lepakshi project. “The land request was made by APIIC and that is a government company. Thus, the state cabinet allotted land. They asked me about several things that came up before the file was signed. Being a former Revenue minister, I gave them satisfactory answers to the best of my knowledge,” said Dharmana, adding that CBI has not asked him to attend another session with them.

It is learnt that the CBI questioned him for five hours.
