HYDERABAD: The Special Investigation Team (SIT), probing the phone-tapping case, examined former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for close to four and a half hours at his Nandinagar residence in Hyderabad on Sunday. After KCR reached Hyderabad, the SIT officials arrived at his residence with laptops, electronic equipment and other evidence. The SIT officials reportedly questioned KCR on the reappointment of T Prabhakar Rao as Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) and P Radha Kishan Rao as Task Force DCP after their retirement. The officials also reportedly questioned him over the 2022 MLAs poaching case. They also reportedly asked if he knew about the WhatsApp groups — KMR and POL 2023 — which the accused in the phone-tapping case used to share information during the 2023 elections.
