Former SIB chief emerges kingpin in snooping incident; more police officers to be questioned

Some more police officers of Telangana are likely to be questioned in the case of “developing profiles of unknown persons and monitoring them” by police from the premises of the Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) in Hyderabad, even as three serving officers and one retired officer were arrested.

While D. Praneeth Kumar, a Deputy Superintendent of Police accused of monitoring the movements of targeted people from SIB office, has already been suspended, the State police chief on Saturday suspended two Additional SPs Thirupathanna and N. Bhujanga Rao, following their arrest.

P. Radhakishan Rao has retired as Hyderabad Police Commissioner’s Task Force DCP and was its Officer on Special Duty on extension for nearly three years.
