CID officials were acting on the complaint of Dana Kishore, secretary minorities welfare department, who alleged that 55.47 crores is being withdrawn fraudulently from the APMFC account in Vijaya Bank, Koti branch, which was meant
for scholarship distribution for under-privileged Muslim  students. The APMFC had Rs 80 crores as fixed deposit amount in three different branches of Vijaya Bank in Hyderabad. The bank officials informed the APMFC soon, as large sum of money was being withdrawn through 240 cheques in a gap of two days, and credited to the accounts of different institutions.
