In April 2012, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Dharmana in relation to the disproportionate assets case, that it was investigating against Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. CBI questioned the motives behind passing GOs, when he was the revenue minister, allocating land to several projects including VANPIC.[1]
In August 2012, CBI filed a chargesheet naming Dharmana as accused number 5, along with Jagan Mohan Reddy, Nimmagadda Prasad, Mopidevi Venkataramana and others. In the chargesheet it alleged quid pro quo among the accused.[5] Following the chargesheet, Dharmana has resigned from cabinet ministry. But the then Chief Minister Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy has not accepted the resignation. However, Dharmana has since stayed away from the cabinet meetings.[2]
In January 2013, a CBI court has permitted the prosecution of the case.
