The vigilance report had charged all of them with gross dereliction of duty.Later the case was handed over to CID, which has registered criminal cases against several TTD officials, including Seshadri, who was continuing as OSD after his retirement in 2006. One of the accused in the case Venkatachalam, who was working in the gold dollar sales wing at Tirumala temple,
was sentenced to three years rigorous imprisonment by a court and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000.
