Prabhakar Rao has been charged with creating a “Special Operations Team” within the SIB under a suspended DSP in order to do particular political surveillance activities for the advantage of the ruling political party and its officials at the time. The SIB’s suspended DSP was one of four police officers detained by the Hyderabad police since March 2024 on suspicion of deleting intelligence data from various electronic devices and of tapping phones during the BRS administration.
After that, they were given bail. Along with others, those mentioned as suspects in the case were accused of creating profiles of many individuals without authorization, monitoring them unlawfully and covertly in the SIB, and utilizing them partisanly to support a political party at the request of certain individuals. According to the authorities, they allegedly conspired to destroy documents to make the proof of their crime vanish.
