Phone tapping case: K Chandrasekhar Rao served notice to appear before SIT
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) addressed Rao and asked KCR to appear before it on January 30.
In its notice, the SIT told Rao that if he is over 65 years of age and under Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, he can come to Jubilee Hills Police Station or advise him of a suitable place in Hyderabad for examination.
Earlier, BRS Working President and KCR’s son KT Rama Rao and senior party MLA T Harish Rao had appeared before the SIT on January 23 and January 20 respectively in connection with the case.
Apart from this, some other BRS leaders were among those summoned and questioned by the SIT recently.
Police said the case concerned allegations of widespread warrantless and illegal wiretapping and tapping involving politicians, businessmen, journalists, members of the judiciary and public figures.
Former Telangana intelligence chief T Prabhakar Rao, the prime accused in the case, was earlier questioned by the SIT.
A suspended DSP of the Telangana Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) was among the four police officers arrested by the Hyderabad Police since March 2024 for allegedly deleting intelligence information from various electronic devices and tapping phones during the previous BRS regime. They were later released on bail.
