SIT Widens Telangana Phone‑Tapping Probe, Summons CM Revanth Reddy’s Brother

The SIT is preparing a custodial‑interrogation report for the Supreme Court due January 16.

Overview

  • Anumula Kondal Reddy was called to the Jubilee Hills office on Thursday to depose as a victim‑witness after investigators said his phone was among those illegally intercepted.
  • Former BRS MLA Jaipal Yadav appeared on January 8 to record his statement, while Chirumurthi Lingaiah was also directed to present himself before the team.
  • SIT notices went to BRS MLC K. Naveen Rao’s father Kondala Rao and MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao’s son Sandeep Rao; Kondala Rao sought questioning at home citing ill‑health and Sandeep is abroad.
  • Police have named six accused, including former SIB chief T. Prabhakar Rao and DSP D. Praneeth Rao; Prabhakar Rao underwent 14 days of SIT questioning after a Supreme Court‑mandated surrender and was released on December 26.
  • Investigators report recovering digital evidence and allege MLC Naveen Rao acted as a conduit between technical teams and political beneficiaries, with police sources saying the probe is also examining a purported ‘RR Module,’ while BRS leaders denounce the exercise as revenge politics.
