Hyderabad, May 5 (UNI) Challenging the opposition to come out with concrete evidence, Andhra Pradesh Commercial Taxes Minister K Ramakrishna, whose name has figured in the alleged land grabbing as alleged by suspended Visakhapatnam Rural Superintendent of Police J G Murali, today offered to subject himself to any probe.

On the TDP's demand for a judicial probe into the Minister's alleged role in land grabbing and his links with the suspended SP, who landed in the Anti-Corruption Bureau net for holding assets disproportionate to his known sources of income, he alleged ''the TDP is making vague and wild charges''.

''Let them come out with proof. I will personally ask Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy to order a probe,'' the Minister told reporters here.

Admitting that he had acquaintances with Murali, the Minister said, ''it is natural for a Minister from the District to know a senior police officer.'' The ACB should bring to book any corrupt officer.

It may be recalled that ACB sleuths had seized Rs 1.5 lakh, 22 tolas of gold and documents of assets worth Rs 64 lakh from the police officer.
