The Telugu Desam Party Telangana State unit has demanded that the Government order an inquiry by Central Bureau of Investigation into the land registration controversy at Miyapur.

TDP-TS working president A. Revanth Reddy alleged that the Government was trying to hush up the case in name of investigation by CB-CID. Efforts were on to blame lower level officials in the issue involving 1,000 acre of prime land worth over ₹10,000 crore. Steps should be initiated to probe the roles of persons close to the powers-that-be.

“Evasion of stamp duty of ₹ 500 crore was established in the internal audit conducted by the department. A CBI probe will establish the magnitude of the crime and those involved in it,” he said.
