The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the phone-tapping case interrogated Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for nearly five hours at his residence in Hyderabad. The team, consisting of six officials, recorded the examination both in audio and video formats. The case, dating back to 2024, involves the alleged tapping of phones of various individuals, including political opponents, businessmen, journalists, and judges during the BRS administration.
Amid tight security measures, the SIT officials arrived at KCR’s residence in Banjara Hills, where he was questioned in the presence of family members. Security was heightened around his house to prevent any gathering of BRS supporters. The SIT had summoned KCR for questioning earlier, and despite his initial request for a different date due to municipal election commitments, he was directed to appear for examination in Hyderabad.
KCR, a prominent BRS leader, is the latest to be questioned in the ongoing investigation. The SIT had previously examined other key figures, including K. T. Rama Rao, T. Harish Rao, and Santosh Rao. The case, which came to light in March 2024, led to the registration of an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and other acts at a police station in Hyderabad.
