New Delhi: Price Waterhouse auditor Srinivas
Talluri, arrested in Satyam fraud case for allegedly conniving
with its founder B Ramalinga Raju and other aides, has moved
the Supreme Court seeking bail in the matter.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court had rejected the bail pleas
of the two Price Waterhouse auditors S Gopalakrishnan and
Talluri accused in the Rs 7,136 crore accounting fraud at
Satyam Computer Services Ltd.
Talluri, while denying any criminal wrongdoing in its
appeal, has said his role was minimal and charged CBI with
adopting an unprofessional approach by linking all the
accused.
The auditors were arrested on January 24 on charges of
conspiring in the fraud and had been in judicial custody at
the Chanchalguda central jail in the state.
CBI has already filed charges against B Ramalinga Raju,
the founder of Satyam, and eight others including the two
auditors.
