Telangana police have registered a case against Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao for making an allegation against Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy that he sent Rs 2,500 crore to the Congress high command for Lok Sabha elections.
On a complaint by a Congress leader, a zero First Information Report (FIR) was registered at Hanamkonda Police Station and the same was transferred to Banjara Hills Police Station in Hyderabad.
