A first Information Report has been filed against Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao in connection with a phone-tapping case. Mr Rao -- the nephew of former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and a minister in his government - has hit out at Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, accusing him of framing him in false cases.

The matter came to light after the Congress government came to power, with the arrest of a former police officer, Praneeth Rao, following a complaint by his senior officer D Ramesh.

Then Gadhagoni Chakradhar Goud, a businessman and founder of Farmer's First Foundation, lodged a complaint alleging illegal surveillance of his phone by Harish Rao and his associates. The MLA from Siddipet, he alleged, had misused state intelligence to monitor his movements and those of his friends and family.
