The investigation into the alleged phone-tapping scandal has gained significant momentum, with the newly constituted Special Investigation Team (SIT) intensifying its probe. The SIT, headed by Hyderabad Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjannar, is now focusing its attention on top political leadership, marking a crucial phase in the case.
As part of the investigation, the SIT has already examined members of the review committee that was constituted during the tenure of former Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) chief T. Prabhakar Rao, who is accused of playing a key role in the illegal surveillance operation.
According to sources, the SIT is preparing to issue notices to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and former minister T. Harish Rao, which could turn out to be a major turning point in the investigation.
So far, the SIT has recorded statements from several senior officials, including former Chief Secretaries Somesh Kumar and Shanthi Kumari, former Intelligence Chief Naveen Chand, former political secretary in the General Administration Department (GAD) Raghunandan Rao, along with other senior IAS and IPS officers.
During the interrogation of Prabhakar Rao, he reportedly named former DGP Mahender Reddy and former intelligence official Anil Kumar multiple times. The SIT has already recorded Mahender Reddy’s statement as part of the probe.
Investigators have reportedly found evidence suggesting that the phones of political leaders, businesspersons, and media professionals were tapped during the previous government’s tenure. It has also emerged that certain former IPS officers forwarded phone numbers provided by Prabhakar Rao to the Home Department without proper verification, raising serious concerns over procedural violations.
Meanwhile, with the Assembly session scheduled to begin on the 29th of this month, political circles are closely watching the developments, as the case continues to unfold with far-reaching implications.
