Phone tapping case: Former SIB chief likely to be summoned for questioning

Following the arrest of Additional DCP of CSW Thirupathanna and Additional SP of Bhupalpally N. Bhujanga Rao last week, former chief of Telangana’s Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) T. Prabhakar Rao is likely to be served summons for questioning in relation to the phone-tapping case. 

According to the officials probing the matter, Mr. Rao’s alleged involvement came up during the questioning of suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police D. Praneeth Kumar alias Praneeth Rao.  

“Mr T. Prabhakar Rao is currently not in India. He has informed us that he is in the United States for a medical check-up. Investigation is underway and he will be sent a notice for questioning when needed,” said a senior official.
