New Delhi: CBI has sent a team to collect documents related to alleged disproportionate assets amassed by Andhra Pradesh Police chief V Dinesh Reddy against whom an enquiry has been initiated by the agency on the directions of the Supreme Court.






CBI sources said the team is likely to examine Reddy in connection with allegations against him and collect documents related to his income and assets accrued by him.

The agency has registered a preliminary enquiry into allegations that Reddy, a 1977-batch Andhra Pradesh cadre IPS officer, had amassed properties which are disproportionate to his known sources of income, the sources said here today.

A bench of justices B S Chauhan and S A Bobde had directed the CBI to conduct the probe and file status report within four weeks in connection with the allegations.

“The appeals are disposed of directing the CBI to investigate the matter against V Dinesh Reddy on the allegations of acquiring the disproportionate assets,” the bench said while passing order on a plea of Umesh Kumar.

The IPS officer had filed the complaint against the DGP by allegedly forging the signature of an MP M A Khan.

The bench said probe is needed on the complaint even though it may be “forged or fabricated” as there was substance in the allegation levelled against Reddy.

“... Even though the complaint was bogus, however, the sale deeds annexed along with the same, though illegally collected by someone, have not been found to be fabricated documents,” it said.
