Court pulls up ACB over liquor syndicates

The Andhra Pradesh High Court pulled up the Anti-Corruption Bureau for its tardy pace in the investigation of the liquor syndicate case and set a deadline of two weeks to the premier anti-graft agency to submit its report.

It is a widely known fact that the probe into the dealings of the liquor mafia and the nexus between politicians and the syndicate, hit a roadblock with ministers and political heavyweights from the ruling congress resisting it strongly.
This led to the subsequent transfer of the ACB joint director heading the investigation, K. Srinivasa Reddy.
