Satyam's Raju spent first night in jail like ordinary prisoner











Sun, Jan 11 11:09 AM

Hyderabad,
Jan 11 (IANS) Once in the list of the richest Indians, disgraced
founder and former chairman of Satyam Computers B. Ramalinga Raju and
his brother B. Rama Raju spent Saturday night in the Chanchalguda jail
and slept on the floor along with 26 other prisoners accused of petty
crimes like theft.

The Raju brothers, who have been remanded to
judicial custody till Jan 23 by a magistrate, will be treated like
ordinary undertrials. Prison authorities said there would be no special
treatment for them.

The high-profile remand prisoners, involved
in a Rs.70 billion fraud in the company, slept on groundsheets and were
provided with woollen blankets in the admission barrack of the jail.

They
were brought to the jail after 6 p.m. and by that time the supper for
prisoners had already been served. When jail authorities asked if they
wanted dinner, they said they were not hungry.

The former Satyam
boss and his brother will be shown no VIP treatment. There will be no
homemade food for them and they will be served jail food thrice a day
along with other inmates, said a prison official.

Each will be
eligible for 650 gm of rice thrice a day along with 250 gm of vegetable
curry and 125 gm of 'daal'. They will also be served tea twice a day.

The
Rajus are likely to be shifted to the barracks on Monday after the
court hears their bail petition. However, they will be segregated from
those accused in violent offences like murders, dacoities and
robberies. They are likely to be lodged in separate barracks meant for
prisoners facing 'soft' cases like cheating.

The Rajus will be in
the company of other high-profile prisoners like Venkateshwara Rao,
former chairman of Krushi Bank, K.S. Raju, chairman of Nagarjuna
Finance Limited (NFL), and a former director of NFL P.K. Madhav. All
three were also accused of swindling huge amounts of money of
depositors.

The prison authorities have been given clear orders
by the higher-ups that they should not show special treatment to the
Rajus. Even jail superintendent M. Chandrasekhar was transferred a day
before the Rajus were remanded to judicial custody in the wake of
allegations that inmates K.S. Raju and P.K. Madhav were given special
treatment. The two were shifted to a hospital recently on medical
grounds.

On the request of Ramalinga Raju's lawyer S. Bharat
Kumar, the magistrate has issued orders to the jail authorities to
constantly monitor his health. 'His blood pressure is fluctuating and
he needs medical treatment,' said Bharat Kumar.

Immediately after
the Rajus were brought to the jail, the authorities asked him whether
he required any medical examination, but he declined.

They have been charged with criminal breach of trust, criminal conspiracy, cheating, falsification of records and forgery.

Ramalinga
Raju Wednesday resigned as chairman of Satyam, India's fourth largest
IT services company, while admitting to the massive fraud. His brother
Rama Raju also quit as the managing director.

They were arrested
by the Crime Investigation Department (CID) Friday night. The CID
officials grilled them for over 18 hours at the state police
headquarters to collect evidence against them.
