LIVE: Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy’s Press Meet

Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy made sensational allegations today, targeting former Chief Minister KCR and former Minister Harish Rao with sharp criticisms. He asserted that KCR’s arrest in the phone tapping case is inevitable, condemning the phone tapping as a despicable act.

Minister Komatireddy accused Radhakrishna Rao, Praneeth Rao, Bhujanga Rao, Thirupathanna, and others of participating in phone tapping, orchestrated by a retired officer named Prabhakar Rao, who led a rowdy gang. He claimed that these activities amassed thousands of crores of rupees, questioning, “What a big mistake have you made, KCR?”

“We are all trapped,” he remarked, explaining that KCR realized there was no more profit to be gained. He noted that Prabhakar Rao is returning from the US, and if he turns approver, they would all be implicated. Komatireddy revealed that Harish Rao was sent to the US, departing on an Emirates flight (Flight No. EK525) from Shamshabad at 4:35 am on May 26. Harish returned to Hyderabad via Mumbai at 7:30 am yesterday.

Komatireddy detailed that the telephone tapping culprit, Prabhakar Rao, was moving around Chicago and Colorado in the US. Harish Rao, accompanied by his family, met with Prabhakar Rao in the US without informing anyone. The media was unaware of Harish Rao’s whereabouts.

He concluded by saying that if someone checks the airport records, they will find details of Harish Rao’s trip to the US, which he undertook to prevent Prabhakar Rao from returning to India.
