Telangana High Court Upholds Remand Of Ex-DSP Being Probed For Tapping Phones Of Political Rivals During Regime Of BRS Govt

Live Law  

The Telangana High Court has recently upheld the remand of the DSP, a senior member of the Special Intelligence Branch, who is under investigation for charges of misusing his official position to monitor political rivals by tapping their phones, under the regime of the BRS government. “This Court does not need any necessity to interfere with the interrogation timings or with regard to other aspects as contended by the learned senior counsel, as all precautions were taken by the trial court while granting police custody stating that the petitioner-accused shall not be subjected to any third-degree methods and that he should be given access to his counsel and that the entire interrogation shall be recorded under the audio and video recordings. It was stated that D. Praneeth Kumar had orchestrated the operation and allegedly destroyed evidence stored in hardware at the SIB head office, on the day Congress defeated BRS in the 2023 State elections. The petitioner/accused contended that firstly, since the remand order was issued upon him just a day before the filing of the present writ, and no specific time of interrogation was stipulated in the remand order, the trial court ought to have directed the respondent police to recommit the petitioner to prison after the interrogation on a daily basis, owing to the inconvenience of sleeping at the Police Station.
