He said in the petition that he was facing difficulty meeting various expenditures as his accounts have been frozen.
Raju’s another son Rama Raju plead the court for a direction to the CBI, which seized his computer and laptop and two pen drives in connection with the investigation into Satyam case, to return them. They contained data related to a research being done by his wife, he said.
