Andhra Pradesh government seeks report from Sai Trust
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh government today sought a detailed report from the Sathya Sai Central Trust about its activities, including financial, in the wake of seizure of cash from the abode of the late spiritual leader.

Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, who had held an emergency meeting with ministers Ponnala Lakshmaiah, N Raghuveera Reddy, S Sailajanath and Chief Secretary S V Prasad last week, has decided to seek a report from the Trust following allegations of diversion of funds from Prasanthi Nilayam.

Accordingly, the government today sent a letter to the Trust seeking a detailed report about its activities, official sources said.

The government also sought detailed information about individual Trust members and their role in its activities, the sources added.
