SIT may summon KCR, Kavitha in phone tapping case
A special police team in Hyderabad is investigating a big case where many people's phone calls were secretly listened to without permission.
They have already questioned several important politicians, including Joginapally Santosh Rao, KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao, and Naveen Rao.
The police might soon ask K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his daughter K Kavitha to come and talk to them.
The BRS party says the Congress government is using this case to distract people from other problems.
The police are still looking into the case to find out who did it and why.
The SIT is investigating a phone tapping case involving over 600 phone numbers, including those of politicians, judges, and journalists.
Joginapally Santosh Rao, KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao, and Naveen Rao have already been questioned by the SIT.
Speculations suggest that K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his daughter K Kavitha may be the next targets for questioning.
The BRS party claims the Congress government is using the phone tapping case to divert attention from other scams.
KTR stated that the BRS leaders are cooperating with the SIT and are not afraid of the inquiry.
