CBI Files Case Against Former CPRI Official for Disproportionate Assets
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a fresh case against Rajaramamohanarao Chennu, former joint director of the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) in Bengaluru, for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets worth approximately Rs 3.77 crore. The agency alleges Chennu intentionally enriched himself between 2024 and 2026, with assets about 15 times his known income. This follows his arrest in a Rs 9.5 lakh bribery case involving a bribe from a private company official. The CBI's investigation included analysis of his income, expenses, and asset growth during the period.
