T Ramakrishna, Chief Conservator of Forests (Wild Life), has been asked to submit a detailed report by November 13, according to an official press release.

Preliminary inquiry by the forest department is understood to have confirmed that meat of wild animals including endangered species was served.

The guests at the dinner included Lok Sabha speaker GMC Balayogi, ministers Tummala Nageswara Rao, T Devender Goud, Mandava Venkateswara Rao and B Gopalakrishna Reddy.

Balayogi yesterday clarified that he was present at the dinner but did not eat anything. The dinner at Marlakunta village in Khammam district was organised to mark the completion of three years in office by Nageswara Rao.

Meanwhile, an ENS report from Khammam said that thehost, Kandimalla Satyanarayana, denied that meat of wild animals was served. Satyanarayana, who was earlier in the Congress, joined the Telugu Desam Party recently and is a staunch follower of Nageswara Rao.

Sarpanch of Marlakunta village, he was later elected as single window president and chairperson of the Lankasagar Project Water Users Association.

Several cooks were hired from Tiruvuru town for the dinner which was attended by almost 1,500 persons. Satyanarayana alleged that the entire story was fabricated by followers of former Congress minister Jalagam Prasada Rao.

According to him, only chicken, fish and goat meat was prepared and there was no truth in the charge that endangered species were killed.
