Telangana’s former IT Minister, K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), has recently found himself under scrutiny by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) and Enforcement Directorate (ED). The investigation agencies are intensifying their probe into the alleged Formula E scam, with KTR being accused of verbally approving a transaction worth Rs 55 crore, which allegedly violated regulations.
In a significant turn of events, KTR arrived at the ACB office in Hyderabad today accompanied by his legal team. However, the authorities refused him entry, citing their disapproval of his decision to bring lawyers with him. Just hours later, the ACB issued a fresh notice to KTR, summoning him to appear for questioning on January 9. The notice also explicitly stated that KTR should attend the investigation without any legal representatives or corporate entourage.
Earlier in the day, there were unverified reports of a search operation at KTR’s residence, although this has not been officially confirmed by the authorities. Following this, the new development regarding the ACB’s second round of notices to KTR emerged in the media.
KTR, however, has expressed reluctance to participate in the investigation without the presence of his legal team. Despite this, the agencies remain firm on their decision to conduct the inquiry in the absence of his lawyers. The ongoing developments will be closely watched as this situation unfolds.
