A sensational secret phone tapping case is currently a very hot topic across the two Telugu states. The spy operation is named ‘HILL COUNTY’ and it involves allegations of phone tapping of several political leaders in Telangana.
The phone tapping case revolves around Telangana CM Revanth Reddy, former CM KCR, and several other leaders. The scandal happened just before the assembly polls in Telangana on November 30, 2023.
Meanwhile, the scandal became popular when Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Praneeth Rao was arrested on March 13, 2024, for his involvement in the phone tapping case. However, the arrest of Praneeth Rao came after a complaint filed by an ASP of the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) of the Telangana Police.
Following the phone tapping scandal, a case was registered against Praneeth Rao and others at Panjagutta police station in Hyderabad. On the other side, the charges include criminal breach of trust and a clear criminal conspiracy.
Interestingly, Praneet Rao himself began the secret operation at ground level on the orders of the then Special Intelligence Chief Prabhakar.
Apart from that, several photos have been doing the rounds on social media regarding the scam. A probe is still underway, and more details are yet to be known.
