  • B. Ramalinga Raju (founder of Satyam Computers) is behind bars here. Criminal charges against him include: fraud, forgery, cheating, embezzlement and insider trading. Raju supposedly overstated Satyam's cash reserves by USD$ 1.5 billion (Indian Rs. 7,450 crore). But will the real guilty ones be caught?
