Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao returned without appearing before Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday (January 6, 2025) morning after he was stopped by police. Responding to the summons issued by ACB in connection with the alleged irregularities in the Formula-E race case, he reached the ACB office in Banjara Hills.
KTR’s office stated that he was stopped by police at the ACB office saying that advocates cannot accompany him. “You show me in writing that my advocates cannot accompany me, I shall ask them to stay back,” KTR was seen telling the police who stopped the vehicle outside the ACB headquarters. He returned after submitting a written response to the officials concerned.
The ACB filed a case against the former Minister KTR; former Special Chief Secretary to the Government (MA&UD) Aravind Kumar, and former Chief Engineer of HMDA B.L.N. Reddy, alleging irregularities of ₹54.88 crore in the Formula E deal. The ACB issued summons to KTR to appear before it.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) also summoned Mr. Rama Rao for questioning on January 7 regarding alleged money laundering linked to the case. Mr. Kumar and Mr. Reddy were asked to appear before the ED on January 8 and 9, respectively.
