Telangana ACB Seeks Passports of K T Rama Rao and Others in Formula E Case
The Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has petitioned a court to produce or impound the passports of BRS Working President K T Rama Rao and three others in connection with alleged irregularities involving around Rs 55 crore in the Formula E race case. The case, filed in December 2024, concerns payments made during the previous BRS government. Rama Rao denies wrongdoing, calling the event a promotion for Hyderabad and accusing the current Congress government of targeting opposition leaders. The court is yet to rule on the petition.
