In a significant development, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged phone-tapping case in Telangana, reportedly, is set to escalate investigations by issuing notices to former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his cabinet colleague T Harish Rao.
As the investigation moves into a critical phase, the SIT plans to re-examine P Rajashekar Reddy, who served as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to KCR.
The move comes after the SIT has already questioned two senior former officials – Somesh Kumar, who was Chief Secretary from December 2019 to January 2023, and Naveen Chand, who served as State Intelligence Chief from September 2016 to November 2020.
The SIT is likely to question Rajashekar Reddy again before issuing notices to him and other senior political leaders in connection with the ongoing investigation.
The phone-tapping allegations against KCR and Harish Rao have been a subject of controversy over the past months, with demands for an impartial probe from various quarters.
The SIT’s decision to question Rajashekar Reddy indicates a seriousness in the investigation, as he is believed to have played a crucial role in the administration during KCR’s tenure as Chief Minister.
The developments in this case are closely watched by political observers and the public alike, with many hoping for a fair and transparent probe to bring clarity on the matter.
