Telangana Phone Tapping Case: Harish Rao Faces SIT Despite Court Dismissals

• BRS leader and former minister Harish Rao appeared before the SIT at Jubilee Hills Police Station in connection with the phone tapping case.
• His lawyer stated Harish Rao has no direct connection to the specific case for which notices were issued, while BRS leaders allege political motivation.
• The Telangana High Court previously quashed a phone tapping FIR against Harish Rao due to insufficient evidence, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court.
• Legal experts seek clarity on the current SIT investigation, as the government argues courts only dismissed one FIR, not the entire phone tapping incident.
• BRS leaders claim the case is being reopened for political inconvenience and to divert attention from public issues and corruption.
