The Hyderabad region Central Bureau of Investigationb (CBI) Joint Director VV Laxminarayana's call data record (CDR) row is becoming clearer with new evidences coming into light. However, the AP police is keeping mum on the issue.

Additional director general of police S Gopal Reddy, currently in-charge of the Crime Investigation Department (CID), told that there is no clarity yet on the role of Nanded police in the matter. "There is no information that the Nanded SP had sent the request seeking Lakshminarayana's call details. It could have been anyone and the matter needs to be probed," Reddy said. Thus, the name of the IPS officer who knowingly or unknowing sent the request to the service provider (BSNL) seeking call details of the CBI joint director continues to stay under wraps. Sources said that the name of the officer was deliberately being kept secret by the investigative agency since only an officer of the rank of SP or above could have put in a request seeking CDR.

Interestingly, besides eliminating the role of the SP, CID said that they had yet to receive information about any private detective agency seeking the call records. Businessman Raghurama Ramakrishna Raju has been accused of collecting Lakshminarayana's CDR before filing a case in high court. Police said teams have been formed to collect documentary proof to nail the culprits. A few DSP rank officers have been drafted in by CID officials to carry out the probe. Although Nacharam inspector Srinivas Rao was summoned by CID, he failed to show up till Sunday. The CID officers are tight-lipped about the status of the investigation.

Meanwhile, Cyberabad police had made substantial progress in the case relating to Vasireddy Chandrabala, a friend of Lakshminarayana's, whose CDR, too, was made public. It is learnt that Cyberabad commissioner Ch Dwaraka Tirumala Rao has quizzed the suspended Nacharam inspector in the matter.
