Chiranjeevi, who is the chief of the regional Praja Rajyam Party, further said the cash belonged to some distant relatives of his son-in-law.


"It is very much clear. The other party, they are the distant relatives of my son-in-law. So, directly we don't have any connection with that right. They themselves confessed that everything belonged to those people, who are distant relatives of my son-in-law," said Chiranjeevi.

"So, our family, my son-in-law, we don't have any other connection with that. They (have) already accepted and information I think you can get from the IT of Chennai," he added.
