A former police constable who purchased 150 acres of land in Mahabubnagar district belonging Agri-Gold company in an auction and the accused persons in Agri-Gold misappropriation of funds appeared to be one and the same. This was stated by Telangana Crime Investigation Department (CID) officials in an affidavit filed in Telangana High Court in an interim application filed in connection with a PIL petition relating to misappropriation of funds of Agri-Gold depositors.
