Operational Manager

Once in the list of the richest Indians, disgraced founder and former chairman of Satyam Computers B. Ramalinga Raju and his brother B. Rama Raju spent Saturday night in the Chanchalguda jail and slept on the floor along with 26 other prisoners accused of petty crimes like theft.

The former Satyam boss and his brother will be shown no VIP treatment. There will be no homemade food for them and they will be served jail food thrice a day along with other inmates, said a prison official.

Each will be eligible for 650 gm of rice thrice a day along with 250 gm of vegetable curry and 125 gm of 'daal'. They will also be served tea twice a day.

The Rajus are likely to be shifted to the barracks on Monday after the court hears their bail petition. However, they will be segregated from those accused in violent offences like murders, dacoities and robberies. They are likely to be lodged in separate barracks meant for prisoners facing 'soft' cases like cheating.

The Rajus will be in the company of other high-profile prisoners like Venkateshwara Rao, former chairman of Krushi Bank, K.S. Raju, chairman of Nagarjuna Finance Limited (NFL), and a former director of NFL P.K. Madhav. All three were also accused of swindling huge amounts of money of depositors.
