In a significant development in the Telangana phone-tapping case, former State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) chief Prabhakar Rao has been named as the prime accused. The case involves allegations of illegal phone tapping of political figures, including the current Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, using sophisticated Israeli equipment with a range of 300 meters. Look out circulars have been issued against two ex-Telangana top cops and a senior executive of a regional media channel. The controversy has escalated into a political slugfest, with parties accusing the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government of snooping. The Union Tourism Minister, G Kishan Reddy, has called for a judicial probe into the matter, highlighting its seriousness. The case has also led to the arrest of senior police officials, raising questions about the involvement of the BRS top brass, especially as the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 approach.
