Former BRS MLA summoned in phone tapping scandal

Former Nakirekal MLA and BRS leader Chirumurthy Lingaiah has been summoned by police officials, marking the first time a political figure is drawn into this high-profile case. Lingaiah has been ordered to appear at the Jubilee Hills police station today, sending ripples through political circles. Speculation is rife as the public wonders who else might be involved and who could be next to receive similar notices.

The scandal has gripped the state since multiple officials were accused of unauthorized surveillance. In recent investigations, police uncovered Lingaiah’s alleged role in tapping the phones of political opponents, leading to his summons. Sources confirm that this is part of a wider probe that could bring more political figures under the scanner.

The Congress government is taking a hard stance on the phone tapping affair. Senior Congress leaders have already vowed that politicians complicit in the case will face the same fate as the high-ranking officials previously arrested. Minister Ponguleti Srinivas hinted at "political bombs" waiting to go off in this case, intensifying suspense around potential new revelations and implicating others in positions of power.

Among those arrested are retired IPS officer Prabhakara Rao, DSP Praneet Rao, and other senior officials like Retired Additional SPs Radhakishan Rao, Bhujanga Rao, Venugopal Rao, and Gattumallu Bhupathi. They stand accused of spying on opposition leaders, ruling party members, as well as influential figures in film and business. The entire scandal unraveled following the arrest of DSP Praneet Rao, and each development has added new layers to the unfolding mystery.

As new angles continue to emerge, a special investigation team is reportedly eyeing more political connections. The recent summons to Lingaiah suggests that the case is far from over, leaving citizens bracing for potential explosive revelations in the days to come.
