Bangalore, Jun 20: Atul Rao, accused in the case pertaining to the death of MLA Raghupati Bhat's wife Padmapriya, has refuted the media reports that he was involved with a real estate fraud involving the alleged kingpin Joseph Chacko.

"Since then, I have no contacts whatsoever with him," he clarified.
