Phone Tapping Controversy Intensifies as Former SIB Chief Prabhakar Rao Returns to Hyderabad
Hyderabad: The high-profile Phone Tapping case in Telangana has taken a new turn as former SIB (Special Intelligence Bureau) Chief Prabhakar Rao, the prime accused in the alleged illegal surveillance operation, has returned to Hyderabad.
Rao, who had been absent from the public eye for weeks, landed at RGIA (Rajiv Gandhi International Airport) on Sunday and is expected to appear before the investigating authorities in the coming days.
The alleged surveillance scandal, involving unauthorized monitoring of political leaders, journalists, and bureaucrats, has stirred massive political and public debate in the state. The return of the ex-SIB Chief is being closely observed by legal, political, and civil rights groups across the country.
Voices like Samaya Jyothi have reiterated the demand for transparency, due process, and accountability, emphasizing that such actions, if proven true, pose a serious threat to individual privacy and democratic governance.
As the investigation progresses, the case is likely to have far-reaching implications for the functioning of intelligence agencies and the accountability of those in power.
This is a developing story, and more updates are expected as Prabhakar Rao engages with the investigating agency.
