The investigation into the question paper leakage case took a serious turn on Thursday, 23 March, with Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan asking for a comprehensive status report within the next 48 hours.

A Raj Bhavan communique said that it was writing to the chief secretary of the TSPSC and the Director General of Police (DGP) on the instructions of the Telangana Governor.

The Raj Bhavan asked them to give the status report on the alleged leakage, including the progress of the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) investigation.

The Raj Bhavan also asked the TSPSC specifically to furnish the details of its regular and outsourced employees who appeared for examinations with or without the permission of the commission.

The Governor also asked for their performance in the examinations and the details of their preparatory leave, apart from riving the present status of the case.

Earlier, on Wednesday, Telangana Congress president A Revanth Reddy visited the Governor and urged her to accord the Congress official clearance to prosecute IT Minister KT Rama Rao along with Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) Chairman B Janarhan Reddy and Secretary Anita Ramachandran in connection with the question paper leak.

Revanth Reddy also sought the dissolution of the TSPSC for the controversy it is embroiled in.

He reminded the Governor that she had the power to scrap the entire body under Article 317 of the Constitution.

The Congress leader alleged that KTR’s department was involved in the perpetration of the crime of leaking the question papers.

He said that employees of the IT Department, which KTR heads, were key players in the case, and that KTR should take responsibility for the mess.

Following the allegations, the SIT issued a notice to him and he appeared before it on Thursday and reportedly presented it with some evidence.

In a similar development, KTR stated that he was issuing legal notices to Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Revanth Reddy over the allegations they raised against him.
