Telangana Police Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the phone tapping allegations during the previous BRS regime, on Thursday sent a notice to the party chief and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to appear for it tomorrow.
It is learnt that in its notice, the SIT told Rao that since he is aged above 65 years, and as per the provisions of section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, he may either come to the Jubilee Hills Police station or inform a place convenient to him in Hyderabad, Telangana for the examination.
This month, previously, KCR’s son and also the Working President of BRS, K T Rama Rao, and senior party MLA T Harish Rao appeared before the SIT on January 23 and January 20, respectively. SIT also questioned some other leaders of BRS in relation to the case.
The prime suspect of the case, ex-Telangana intelligence chief T Prabhakar Rao, was also earlier questioned by the SIT.
The case relates to allegations of widespread unauthorised and illegal phone surveillance and interception involving politicians, businessmen, journalists, members of the judiciary and eminent personalities, police had said.
A suspended DSP of Telangana Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) was among four police officials arrested by Hyderabad Police since March 2024 for allegedly erasing the intelligence information from various electronic gadgets as well as for alleged phone-tapping during the previous BRS regime. They were subsequently granted bail.
