PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana has said  he came to know that minister Dharmana Prasada Rao's was included in the charge sheet filed by CBI in Vanpic case only when it was telecast in the media. He has said that he knew anything about the development and stressed a decision on whether Dharmana Prasada Rao should continue as the minister or step down from the post would be ascertained only after he goes through the charge sheet.

It may be noted that Dharmana Prasada Rao, who reportedly faced allegations of irregularities earlier, was charged as accused number five in Vanpic case while accused number one was Jaganmohan Reddy. The CBI submitted this charge sheet to the court yesterday.
