Telangana Phone Tapping Case Expands
Some officials in Telangana, India, are being investigated for illegally listening to phone calls of important people.
A man named P. Rajasekhar Reddy, who used to work for a former chief minister, was asked questions about his role in this.
He is said to have given orders to other officers to tap the phones of politicians, celebrities, and journalists.
Over 4,000 people's calls were reportedly intercepted.
After a new government took over, the recorded data was destroyed.
The investigation is ongoing to find out more details.
Meanwhile, the opposition party BRS has accused the current government of orchestrating a massive scam under the HiLT Policy, alleging that the government is looting public assets for real estate purposes.
The BRS also claims that the current government has reduced reservation benefits for Backward Classes, contrary to their election promises.
P. Rajasekhar Reddy, former OSD to K. Chandrashekar Rao, was questioned by the SIT about his role in illegal phone tapping.
Reddy allegedly passed orders to intercept phone calls of political leaders, judges, journalists, and others to SIB officials, including P. Radha Kishan Rao.
Over 4,000 people, including politicians, celebrities, and journalists, had their phone calls intercepted during the elections.
The data from the intercepted calls was destroyed after the Congress government was formed in Telangana.
