Notice to police on bail plea of snooping accused

Hyderabad: The Metropolitan Magistrate court in Nampally on Wednesday issued notices to police in the bail petitions filed by suspended police officers Bhujanga Rao and Thirupathanna, who are accused in the phone-tapping case.

Both the accused filed bail petitions for a second time before the Nampally court. Their earlier bail petitions were rejected last month.

The court on Wednesday directed the police to file their contentions and adjourned the hearing to June 3.

Meanwhile, the court gave its nod for providing home food to the scam’s key player Radha Kishan Rao, former OSD of the task force. The Nampally court had earlier rejected his bail petition.
