A first Information Report has been filed against Bharat Rashtra Samithi MLA T Harish Rao in connection with a phone-tapping case. Mr Rao was the minister in the government led by K Chandrasekhar Rao and is his nephew.
The matter came to light 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.
