TRS MLAs’ Poaching Case: Telangana SIT Issues Lookout Notice For Suspects

B Srinivas, a lawyer from Karimnagar, appeared before the SIT and was grilled for nearly eight hours

The Telangana Special Investigation Team officials probing the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MLAs’ poaching case have started issuing lookout notices for the suspects a day after they skipped SIT summons to join the investigation.

Dr Kottilil Narayan Jaggu alias Jaggu Swamy, a doctor at the Amrutha Institute of Medical Sciences in Ernakulam, BJP national general secretary (organization) BL Santosh, and Tushar Vellapally, the founder-president of the Bharat Dharmika Jana Sena (BDJS) of Kerala, were scheduled to appear before the investigating officer on Monday for questioning in the case.

The fourth suspect, B. Srinivas, a lawyer from Karimnagar, appeared before the SIT and was grilled for nearly eight hours. He is being questioned for the second consecutive day on Tuesday.

A lookout notice or circular (LOC) is issued to make sure that an individual who is absconding or wanted by law enforcement agencies is not able to leave the country.

Notably, the Telangana government formed the SIT on November 9 to investigate the case. The SIT has six police officers and is headed by Hyderabad Police Commissioner.

It is to be noted that Ramachandra Bharati alias Satish Sharma, Simhayaji and Aand Nandakumar were arrested by the Cyberabad police from a farmhouse at Moinabad near Hyderabad on the night of October 26, when they were allegedly trying to lure four TRS MLAs with offers of money.

Cyberabad police conducted the raid on a tip-off by Pilot Rohit Reddy, one of the MLAs, who alleged that the accused offered Rs 100 crore to him and Rs 50 crore each to three others.
