Phone-Tapping Scam: Ex-DCP Names 'Rao Sahab' for Snooping

'Rao,' described as a close associate of the 'TRS supremo' previously named by former DCP Radha Kishan Rao during interrogation, is reportedly set to receive a notice requiring his presence for questioning. According to sources, 'Rao garu' and 'Rao Sahab' - as he was referred to - played a significant role in issuing directives to some of the accused officers. Sources revealed that raids and settlements were conducted at the behest of 'Rao,' who personally selected officers for the phone-tapping initiative. Former DCP Radha Kishan, who reportedly lost consciousness during questioning at the Banjara Hills police station, was interrogated again on Saturday. Additionally, Radha Kishan disclosed the name of an MLC who, sources claim, obstructed police action against encroachers.

Police officers under scrutiny for their involvement in the mass phone-tapping scandal have allegedly implicated a BRS leader identified only as 'Rao' in the operation.
