HYDERABAD: If highly placed sources are to be believed, Governor Jishnu Dev Varma is set to give his consent to a request by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) seeking permission to register a case against former minister and BRS working president KT Rama Rao for alleged misuse of power and diversion of funds — sanctioned bypassing established procedures — for conducting the Formula-E race.
The sources confided that the Governor was likely to approve the ACB’s request under Section 17A of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Charges of misappropriation of public funds and conspiracy may be included in the case, the sources said.
