Overview

  • The Anti-Corruption Bureau served Rama Rao with a fresh notice on June 13 directing him to appear at 10 a.m. on June 16 over alleged irregularities in the 2023 Hyderabad Formula E race.
  • The inquiry focuses on an alleged ₹54 crore payout to organisers, including a ₹44 crore bank-to-bank transfer from the HMDA account and an additional ₹8 crore in taxes.
  • Rama Rao has vowed to cooperate fully with investigators while dismissing the case as politically motivated harassment by the Congress government.
  • In a public rebuttal, he challenged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to take a live lie detector test on television, proposing both undergo the examination before a judge.
  • Senior BRS figures such as Harish Rao and K Kavitha have condemned the summons as a political vendetta, accusing the state government of failing to recover the funds.
