Meanwhile, Cyberabad police questioned Ravi Prakash for third consecutive day on Thursday in connection to two cheating cases registered by them. Earlier, Ravi Prakash had approached the Supreme Court seeking anticipatory bail in the cases. The apex court had refused to grant anticipatory bail to Ravi Prakash, but asked the Telangana high court to hear his bail plea afresh on merit on June 10.
The Supreme Court had also directed Ravi Prakash to cooperate with the police investigations. Cyberabad police have registered two different criminal cases against Ravi Prakash, for allegedly forging documents. The cases were registered on April 24 and April 30 based on complaints lodged by P Kaushik Rao of Alanda Media & Entertainments Private Ltd.
