Hyderabad: Telangana Crime Investigation Department (CID) has registered a forgery case against the former BRS MLA Dr. Chennamaneni Ramesh. Based on a complaint lodged by Government Whip and Congress MLA Aadi Srinivas, the CID booked the case against 67-year-old Ramesh, a resident of Vemulawada in Karimnagar district. When contacted, Srinivas confirmed Deccan Chronicle on Tuesday that the CID issued the FIR after he lodged a complaint addressed to the Director-General of Police Jitender. The case was registered under Sections 465 (forgery), 468 (forgery committed with an intention of cheating) and 471 (using a forged document as genuine) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). Provisions of Section 12 of Passports Act-1967, Section 14 of Foreigners Act-1946 and Section 17 of Citizenship Act-1955 were also invoked against Ramesh. In his complaint, Srinivas explained in detail all the factors related to German citizenship of Ramesh and how he used to travel frequently to Berlin in violation of norms. Srinivas said Ramesh duped both the State and Central government apart from voters of Vemulawada Assembly constituency and committed the offences under the provisions of Citizenship Act-1955, Passports Act-1967 and other provisions of IPC. “Ramesh is liable to be prosecuted,” the Congress MLA said, adding that after obtaining the judgment copy of the case related to Ramesh from the High Court and discussing with his legal team, he filed the complaint.
