KTR questioned in phone tapping case
KT Rama Rao, a leader from the Bharath Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party, was questioned by a special team investigating a phone tapping case.
He was told not to talk to any witnesses and might be called again.
The case is about allegations that phones of important people were tapped illegally to help the BRS party.
KTR said the questioning was long and didn't have much important information.
He also said the government is making up stories to hurt his reputation.
Some BRS workers protested near a police station when KTR went for the questioning.
Police had to manage heavy traffic and security around the area.
The questioning lasted over seven hours and covered topics like electoral bonds, travel details, land allotment, social media activities, and his tenure as a minister.
KT Rama Rao was questioned by the SIT for over seven hours in a phone tapping case.
He was instructed not to contact or influence any witnesses and may be summoned again.
The case involves allegations of illegal phone interception to benefit the BRS party.
KTR described the inquiry as repetitive and lacking substance, alleging no concrete evidence was presented.
BRS workers protested near Jubilee Hills police station against Telangana CM Revanth Reddy during KTR's interrogation.
