Hyderabad: In a significant development in the phone tapping case investigation, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has issued a formal notice to BRS chief and former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, seeking his examination in the case registered at the Panjagutta police station. The SIT has asked him to make himself available for questioning on Friday at 3 pm.
Officials served the notice at Chandrashekhar Rao’s Nandi Nagar residence, informing him that investigators believe he may be acquainted with facts relevant to the case.
Citing the legal safeguard under Section 160 of the CrPC, officials informed that since the BRS chief is above 65 years of age, he is not required to appear at a police station. Instead, he may choose a convenient location within Hyderabad for the examination, and the investigating team will visit him there.
The move marks a sharp escalation in the politically sensitive case, which has already seen the questioning of several senior BRS leaders, including KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao and J Santosh Kumar, linked to the previous BRS government.
