The suicide note pointed to unauthorized transfers of large sums to various accounts, allegedly including those of well-known IT companies and a Hyderabad-based cooperative bank.

 

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up to probe the allegations, while the Union Bank of India has also lodged a complaint with the CBI. Despite these developments, BJP continues to insist that the chief minister and other top officials must step down to allow for a transparent investigation.
