GEQD report confirms forgery in Satyam scam

5 Jun 2009

HYDERABAD: The Union home ministry's Government Examiner of Questioned Documents (GEQD) has filed his report in the local CBI court which has reportedly confirmed the forgery committed by B Ramalinga Raju and other accused in the Satyam scam.

GEQD of Hyderabad, who is part of the directorate of forensic science working under the aegis of the Union home ministry, was earlier sent several documents signed by Raju and others. Certain cheques, fake fixed deposit papers, forged bank balance sheets - all signed by Raju and Co earlier along with their specimen signatures collected through CBI court - were sent to GEQD for verification.

In the verification, it was said, all the signatures tallied with one another. This means the charge of forgery for cheating can be established. In fact, the CBI, which is investigating into the scam, has charged the accused with IPC 468 also and the GEQD report would help them establishing the guilt of the accused in this regard.

After obtaining the report from GEQD, the CBI has filed this report in the court on Wednesday.
