The criminal investigation department of the Andhra Pradesh Police has launched investigation into the Satyam Computer scandal after the state government finally gave the go-ahead on Friday.
Director general of police S S P Yadav will personally supervise the investigation, highly-placed police sources told PTI.
The DGP held a meeting with CID additional director general A Sivanarayana, inspector general (economic offences wing) VSK Kaumudi and other senior officials and reviewed the Satyam case.
Thereafter, the DGP discussed the case with state chief secretary P Ramakanth Reddy and reportedly sought directions on proceeding against Satyam ex-chairman B Ramalinga Raju.
Emerging out of the meeting with the chief secretary, the DGP declined to comment.
"Whatever you ask, I shall not speak anything," was his curt reply.
Meanwhile, police sources said there was no likelihood of the arrest of Ramalinga Raju.
"His so-called confessional statement written to the Securities and Exchange Board of India cannot form an evidence. It doesn't stand legal scrutiny," a top official said.
Unless the Sebi completed its investigations and filed a complaint, the police could not act on their own, the official added.
