Formula E race case: BRS tense as ACB, ED likely to expedite probe

HYDERABAD: Tension seems to be building up in the Bharat Rashtra Samithi circles over the next move of the Anti-Corruption Bureau and Enforcement Directorate in the investigation into the Formula E Race case. Both the agencies have registered cases against BRS working president and former IT minister KT Rama Rao, former IAS officer Arvind Kumar and former Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority chief engineer BLN Reddy. Sources say that with the winter session of Assembly concluding on Saturday and the ACB officials having completed analysis of the judgment of the Telangana High Court, which restrained authorities from arresting Rama Rao for 10 days, now the focus of the anti-graft agency has shifted to the next course of action as the the court did not object to the investigation in the case. The sources said that the ACB is preparing to issue notices to Rama Rao, Arvind Kumar and BLN Reddy any time over the alleged irregularities in the Formula E car racing event.
