Ajay Kallam is a former IAS officer who served as the Chief Secretary to the Andhra Pradesh government. After his retirement in 2017, he was appointed as an Advisor to YS Jagan, the current Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Recently, he has been in the news in connection with the Viveka’s murder case.
According to reports, Ajay Kallam gave a statement to the CBI on April 29, 2023, in which he mentioned specific details, including the timing of certain events.
However, it was later revealed that on May 17th, the CBI questioned him again, and Ajay Kallam claimed that he only had a casual conversation with the CBI officer and didn’t disclose the timing of his meeting with Jagan at Lotus Pond on March 15, 2019. He also accused a section of the media of publishing fake news.
On July 22nd, the CBI released Ajay Kallam’s statement in their charge sheet, and it was found to be the same as the one reported by the Telugu daily on May 17th.
However, Ajay Kallam has now filed a petition in the Telangana High Court to quash his statement with the CBI. He has alleged that the CBI changed his statement and unnecessarily involved others in the case.
The issue has raised doubts among people as to why such inconsistencies and changes in statements are occurring.
It is crucial for such statements to be verified and thoroughly checked before they are signed to avoid any discrepancies or confusion in a high-profile case like this.
