Now, ED Files Money-Laundering Case Against KT Rama Rao After HC Relief

Hyderabad: There’s no respite for BRS leader KT Rama Rao (KTR) in the case linked to payments made for Formula-E race in Hyderabad.

Hours after the Telangana High Court directed Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials to not arrest the former Telangana minister till December 30, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday filed a money-laundering case against him in the same case.

Justice Natcharaju Shravan Kumar Venkat, who heard a petition moved by KTR seeking to quash the FIR filed against him by the ACB a day earlier, directed the petitioner to cooperate with the probe and posted the matter next week for further hearing.

Telangana ACB on Thursday registered a case against the BRS working president over payments allegedly made to conduct a Formula-E race in Hyderabad during the previous regime. The FIR named the son of former chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao as prime accused.
