TPCC President Revanth Reddy on Tuesday alleged that Congress leaders were being served SIT notices for raising questions on the link between IT Minister KT Rama Rao and the TSPSC question paper leak scandal.
Speaking to the media in Delhi, Revanth also linked the question paper leak to huge cash changing hands, money laundering and Hawala channels.
“KTR’s PA Thirupati is just a pawn in the whole episode.KTR has specific information on paper leakage.
KTR should answer as to who gave information to him, whether it is the accused or TSPSC.Instead of serving him notices, SIT is giving ‘leaks’ to the media that they are going to file cases against Opposition leaders,” Revanth alleged, adding that KTR was trying to protect the people involved in the case.
The TPCC chief added: “Since money laundering and Hawala transactions are involved, SIT alone cannot investigate the case.We demand an investigation by central agencies, ED, CBI, and special wings of the ACB.” He said that the directors of ED and CBI were not giving them an appointment to lodge a formal complaint in this regard.He also opined that the accused must be booked under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act as government servants were also involved in the case.
“If a case is booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act, it will be tried in ACB court and the accused will be brought to justice at the earliest.It is also possible if ED and CBI take up the case,” Revanth said.
The TPCC chief said that KTR was blatantly lying by stating that it was the government that identified the paper leakage.“The scandal only came to light when there was a dispute in sharing the money earned through selling question papers,” Revanth alleged.
