Hyderabad: Former task force DCP P. Radha Kishan Rao, already under arrest in a phone tapping case, was arrested by Jubilee Hills police on Thursday for allegedly threatening a businessman. Rao was produced before the court for judicial remand, with police planning to seek his custody for further investigation.

The arrest follows a complaint filed by businessman Venu Madhav Chennupati, accusing Rao of conspiring with CEO Balaji and four part-directors to unlawfully acquire his company, Kria Healthcare. Chennupati alleged that he was coerced into signing a settlement agreement transferring his shares under duress at Rao's office during his tenure as task force DCP.

Jubilee Hills police registered cases against Rao and eight others based on Chennupati's complaint, which includes charges of kidnapping and harassment.

According to the FIR, Venu Madhav returned to India in 2008 and founded Kria Healthcare in 2011 to provide affordable healthcare solutions. By 2014, the company was engaged in significant projects across Andhra Pradesh, including urban healthcare centers, telemedicine facilities, and emergency services.

The alleged conspiracy to take over Kria Healthcare began in 2016 when four new directors joined the company, subsequently colluding with CEO Balaji and Rao, according to the complainant.
