'Satyam' Ramalingaraju reading Books on Gautama Buddha

Hyderabad Jan 13Ahighly depressed Ramalinga Raju who changed his clothes after three days on Monday, turned spiritual in Chanchalguda jail. On the third day of his jail life, Raju started reading books on Gautama Buddha. The books were brought to him by his son Teja Raju, who accompanied lawyer Bharat Kumar to the jail to meet papa dear. The son who was with the father for half and hour also gave him some fruits.
“He is not mingling with anyone. He is spending time by himself. Since he seems to prefer solitude, the other inmates are also not taking the initiative to strike a conversation with him,” a jail official said. “ He is really very downcast,” said a top jail official.
For company on Monday, Ramalinga Raju had his brother Rama Raju, CFO V Srinivas and two other bootleggers.
Though as per the normal procedure during a “mulaqat,” a visitor can to talk to the inmates from behind the grills, Teja Raju was permitted entry into the jail though not into the barracks where Ramalinga is lodged. This was the first visit of a family member to Ramalinga Raju. However, his advocate spent more time with Ramalinga Raju. “We discussed about the case,” Bharat Kumar said after a three-hour meeting with Raju. The advocate had earlier filed a bail plea for Raju in the Nampally criminal court. Since Raju was expecting a bail, he had to be counselled about the circumstances in which the application could not be immediately taken up.
Vadlamani Srinivas’ wife also visited the jailed CFO. Ramalinga Raju also had other visitors but they could not meet him as the authorities kept them waiting. A visitor handed over some books and some greeting cards to the sentry at the jail requesting that they be handed over to Ramalinga Raju.
