Andhra Police notice to Telengana CM's family-owned channel over alleged Chadrababu tapes

Hyderabad, June 20 (IBNS) The Andhra Pradesh police has issued notice to T News, a channel part owned by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's family, for airing audio tapes alleged to be of a telephone conversation suggesting that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had approved offering bribe to an independent lawmaker before the Telengana Legislative Council elections.

The notice issued by the Assistant Commissioner of Police of Visakhapatnam asks the channel to reply within three days why legal action should not be taken against it for defamatory material that 'violated public decency' and 'disturbed tranquility and maintenance of law and order.'

  Naidu has claimed the tape which raised an accusing finger at him for allegedly making a move to bribe Telengana's independent lawmaker Elvis Stephenson for voting the TDP nominee  was doctored and his phone was tapped.

Naidu and K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) have traded charges in what is being called the cash-for-vote scandal.

The controversy came public with the arrest of Revanth Reddy, a legislator of  Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) by the Telangana anti-corruption bureau while allegedly offering bribe to Elvis Stephenson for voting for the TDP nominee in the Telangana Legislative Council elections.
