ACB officials at the GGH questioned Telugu Desam Party MLA and former minister Atchannaidu. The ACB has released the letter, which Atchannaidu has ordered contract for telehealth services. The ACB has questioned Atchannaidu as to the motive behind the use of the term 'My Order' in the letter.
The Authorities have inquired about his relationship with a telehealth services contractor. He was quizzed about paying crores of rupees to a single company. ACB officials also inquired about phone calls to the call center.
