The retired IAS officer, who worked as special secretary in the chief minister’s office during the Chandrababu Naidu regime in combined Andhra Pradesh till 2004, fainted while he was being questioned by the CID authorities during a raid on his house in the morning.

The family members wanted to shift him to the hospital, but the CID sleuths did not permit him. However, when the family members told them that he had undergone two surgeries in the past and was suffering from hypertension, they shifted him to Star Hospital at Banjara Hills.

ento ee gola...everytime govt change, these officials are first in trouble...main leaders baane untaru.

Btw, this officer was also in a good position when YSR because CM in 2003. even though he is close to CBN, but YSR ki kuda manchi relation undedi and YSR made sure he is transfered out of CM office but placed in a good position. Compared to other IAS officers who were moved to very normal roles. 

Looks like Jagan is not much of YSR
