Phone Tapping Case in Telangana:
The police department has ushered in another important development in the phone tapping case that is rocking Telangana. Police arrested Radha Kishan Rao, who worked as DCP of the Hyderabad Task Force Division in the previous government and served as OSD (Officer on Special Duty) there after retirement.
He was produced in the court on Friday… Earlier, Radha Kishan Rao was interrogated at Banjara Hills Police Station with all the gates closed. The police have kept the details of the investigation strictly confidential. Based on the information given by former DSP Praneet Rao, the police interrogated Radha Kishan Rao on several matters. Praneet Rao is already in police custody in the phone tapping case. Based on his statement, the police conducted inspections at the residences of additional SPs Thirupatanna, Bhujanga Rao and media company manager Shravan Rao a few days ago. But the police have already arrested Bhujangarao and Thirupatanna. It seems that the rest of the people have gone into hiding. Police have already issued lookout notices against them.
The police who detained Radha Kishan Rao… The police inquired at length about the operations carried out at the field level during his tenure. Who brought the equipment from abroad? Why brought? Who is behind this? On whose orders did this work? How many operations were done with Praneet Rao? How many merchants were threatened? Who was instrumental in collecting that money? What did you do with that money? Police questioned Radha Kishan Rao on such matters. After questioning Radha Kishan Rao, the police also called Gattu Mallu, who worked as an inspector in the task force and SIB, to the Banjara Hills police station. He was also questioned on the matter of phone tapping. Gattu Mallu is being propagated as he has revealed important things as a high official interrogated him in his style.
Radha Kishan Rao has been working in the Hyderabad Task Force for a long time, so there are allegations about the behavior of his team. There are criticisms that they used to bring opponents who were targeted by the previous government. Revanth Reddy, who was a Member of Parliament, made many allegations against Radha Kishan Rao. There are allegations that a Congress leader committed suicide after being molested by Radha Kishan Rao Malkaz Giri when he was ACP. After the investigation, he got out of that Ketu. Although Radha Kishan Rao retired from the job, he played a key role in the task force department. No matter who is the city commissioner, Radha Kishan Rao was given high priority because of the patronage of the government officials. Although retired, he served twice as OSD. During the assembly elections, the then Commissioner Sandeep Kumar Sandilya sent a special report on Radha Kishan Rao to the Election Commissioner, and he was removed from the task force.
Radha Kishan Rao resigned from his post after the Congress government came to power after the elections. While Radha Kishan Rao and Gattu Mallu are being interrogated by the police, some traders from Begum Bazaar have gone into hiding. Hawala and ganjai Danda are more prevalent in Begam Bazar area. There are allegations that Radha Kishan Rao and Gattu Mallu continued financial transactions with key people in these gangs. It seems that not only Radha Kishan Rao but also three other task force policemen have been detained. Their phones have been confiscated. It is reported that they are also being investigated secretly.
A constable was also detained by the police along with the man who worked as Praneet Rao’s driver. It is reported that on December 4 last year, the hard disks were destroyed in SIB… They were sealed and thrown in the river. Police suspect their involvement in the incident. It is known that the Nampally court on Thursday issued orders to handover Bhujanga Rao, who was arrested in Chanchal Guda Jail, to Thirupatanna police custody for five days. They will remain in police custody from Friday to April 2. But the court refused to hand over Praneet Rao to police custody.
It is being spread that the police are coming out with key details in the phone tapping case. They have already given a report to the government. Based on this, it seems that the current Revanth Reddy government is thinking of sending those who played key roles in the then government to jail. In this context, it seems that the government is negotiating with legal experts. In the background of the fact that the police have already collected key information in this case, it seems that there is a possibility of arresting the elders who played a key role in the previous government.
