Hyderabad: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday carried out searches in private dental colleges and residences of Dental Council of India members in an alleged bribery case related to granting approvals to colleges for running various courses.
The searches were spread across various locations in Hyderabad, Chennai, Namakkal, Jabalpur, Bengaluru and Mangalore.
In Hyderabad, officials searched the residence of DCI member Dr Sateesh Kumar Reddy. Dr Reddy, however, was in New Delhi for a meeting and was not available for questioning.
“An investigation officer from CBI came to my residence and enquired about me. As I was not there, he handed over summons to my family members. He spoke to me over phone and asked me to appear in three days.
I will provide all the information that will be sought by the CBI. I have no role in this case. The investigation is part of the inquiry into the recent arrests of two DCI members in Chennai,” Dr Reddy said.
The CBI had arrested two DCI members — Dr Gunaseelan Rajan and Dr S. Murugesanl — for allegedly receiving bribes for arranging clearances from the council for allowing post-graduate courses at a private dental college.
The agency claimed to have recovered Rs 75 lakh in cash from Dr Rajan after his arrest. CBI sources said that during his questioning, a big racket involving several dental surgeons came to light.
