The Special Investigation Team has summoned Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar to provide a statement in a potential phone-tapping scandal linked to the past BRS regime, officials reported on Thursday.
Kumar is set to meet investigators on July 24 at the Lake View Government Guest House, amidst claims that judicial figures' phones were involved. He urged the state government to assign the Central Bureau of Investigation to handle the probe.
Authorities are also interrogating T Prabhakar Rao, the former Special Intelligence Bureau chief of Telangana, the primary suspect in the case. Accusations involve unauthorized political surveillance to favor ruling party leaders, with actions carried out under the defunct Special Operations Team led by a suspended DSP.
