CBI likely to grill film stars

CBI officials are likely to swoop on some film stars who had bought villas in the land developed by Emaar MGF at Gachibowli in Hyderabad and they were issued notices by the interrogating agency in this case.

The Bureau is likely to question Mahesh Babu, his wife Namrata, Ramcharan and Galla Padmavathi, daughter of minister Galla Aruna Kumari, who is closely related to Maheseh Babu`s family.

In its FIR, the CBI had alleged that the villa plots were sold at throwaway prices of Rs 5,000 per sq. yd. while the registration charges itself were Rs 12,000.

The CBI will question Mahesh Babu and his wife Namrata on September 14, Ramcharan on September 15 and Galla Padmavathi on September 16, sources said.
