Enforcement Directorate— DC File

VIJAYAWADA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has served a fresh notice to senior YSRC leader and former minister Ambati Rambabu, asking him to appear before it in Hyderabad on September 28 for inquiry in connection with the alleged irregularities in liquor transportation tenders.
