A deeply concerning abuse of power has been exposed by former Task Force OSD P Radha Kishan Rao and former additional SP N Bhujanga Rao. It is said that state apparatus was used not only for political gain but also to suppress opposition and stifle dissent.
The admissions describe how prominent individuals, such as the former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his nephew, are accused of planning illegal phone tapping operations and supervising political opponents, journalists, and critics.With allegations of a larger plot, the situation has gotten worse.

According to the ex-OSD, KCR intended to have well-known BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Kumar imprisoned. It was anticipated that this arrest would put pressure on the BJP to reach a settlement in the Enforcement Directorate case against KCR’s daughter, K Kavitha, who is charged in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
The alleged misuse of public funds to allow the BRS to transport its funds while seizing those of the opposition, manipulating poll results, starting in 2018 and peaking in the 2023 Assembly elections—where surveillance and illicit activities were intensified to guarantee the BRS’s supremacy—is another egregious feature of this case.

High-ranking officials’ involvement, who allegedly participated in blackmail and extortion, presents a disturbing image of a network of corruption that is firmly established. It is a flagrant invasion of privacy to listen in on encrypted calls using advanced technology.
The disclosures demand a careful investigation. From the political elite to the officers, accountability needs to be fixed. The judiciary and civic society of Telangana need to address these serious allegations of violations and stop similar abuses from happening again.
