CBI, Andhra-ACB officers meet

Officials from the two agencies discussed issues such as mutual cooperation, legal complications and collection of evidence, among others.

State ACB Director General B Prasada Rao, Director B Shivadhar Reddy and other senior officers, and CBI Joint Director (Hyderabad Zone) V V Lakshmi Narayana, DIG H Venkatesh were among those who attended the meeting.

Rao said the two agencies decided to form a joint group and hold similar conferences twice a year. Today's meeting was held after a gap of around four years.

Andhra Pradesh ACB is currently probing cash-for-bail scandal involving former Karnataka minister Gali Janardhan Reddy, which was initially exposed by CBI.
