Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao accusing Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of misusing official position to protect a benami company, KLSR Infratech Private Limited, which allegedly received government contracts worth over Rs 2,500 crore despite being under insolvency proceedings. He wrote to union Home Minister Amit Shah, seeking his intervention and order for a Central probe into the alleged evidence tampering in KLSR case.
In his letter, Rama Rao said the law and order in Telangana was deteriorating, with situation reaching a disturbing level after the government officials informed the Telangana High Court that crucial evidence related to the KLSR case had gone missing from official custody. He termed the development alarming and stated that the disappearance of documents indicated pressure on investigative agencies and deliberate attempts to shield those in power.
He accused the Chief Minister of influencing officials to tamper with evidence to protect the company, which he was being linked to Revanth Reddy through benami dealings. He said public confidence in the police and investigation machinery had been severely eroded due to repeated incidents that suggested political interference.
The BRS working president explained that contracts related to irrigation works, drinking water supply, road construction and Young India Integrated School projects were awarded to KLSR Infratech even while the company’s insolvency proceedings were pending before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). He said such allocations raised serious questions about adherence to tender norms, financial eligibility criteria and transparency in the procurement process.
He also referred to earlier Income Tax investigations in which a Toyota Land Cruiser allegedly used by the Chief Minister was found registered in the name of KLSR Infratech, claiming the association between the company and Revanth Reddy was widely known.
Rama Rao cited reports that a tribunal member recused himself from hearing the insolvency case of KLSR Infratech in August last year citing attempts to influence the proceedings. He informed that enforcement actions were taken against entities connected to the case soon after the change of government in December 2023.
However, he pointed to concerns raised in the High Court during the hearing of a writ petition in 2025 over missing documents. “The recent fire incident at the Telangana State Forensic Science Laboratory had added to fears about the safety of crucial evidence,” he remarked.
The BRS leader urged the union government to order a thorough and impartial investigation and requested that agencies including the CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Serious Fraud Investigation Office examine the financial transactions, contract allotments and possible money laundering linked to the company. He also addressed copy of the letter to union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, union Minister Piyush Goyal and union Minister of State for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal, he said.
