MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy alleged that the phones of KCR, KTR, Harish Rao, Kavitha, Santosh, former ministers and other key BRS leaders in Telangana are being tapped by Intelligence DG Shivdhar Reddy on the orders of CM Revanth Reddy. He revealed that the CM and the Intelligence DG conspired to tap his phones, find out where he was going and implicate him in a drug case.
Kaushik Reddy complained to the Banjara Hills Police Station on Wednesday that his phones were being tapped to this extent. Later, speaking to the media he said that ‘If I called the Banjara Hills ACP in the morning, he asked me to come at 3 pm. When I went to the police station at 3 pm, the ACP left five minutes earlier. When I went to lodge a complaint with the CI, he tried to leave the station. When the party workers insisted that my complaint should be accepted, they came back, took the complaint and gave me a receipt.
He lamented that the CI behaved inappropriately without respecting him as an MLA. Doesn’t the CI know that an MLA has a higher protocol than the DGP?, he asked. ‘If the Chief Minister’s brothers, who won’t even win as a ward member, come to the stations, get up from their chairs, go too far and wave batons, don’t they know what kind of courtesy to give to the policemen who come to a public representative?’, he protested.
Kaushik Reddy warned that their government would come again and that not a single officer who behaved illegally would be spared. He expressed his concern that the calls made to go to an event were tapped, and that drugs were planted at the event with that information and a conspiracy was hatched to implicate him in the case.
Kaushik Reddy demanded that a case should definitely be registered against CM Revanth Reddy and Intelligence Shivdhar Reddy, and that an FIR should be registered and an investigation should be conducted. He warned that if an FIR is not filed on the complaint he has given, serious consequences will follow.
