The Special Investigation Team (SIT) in Hyderabad is currently investigating the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leak case. The SIT has issued a notice to A Revanth Reddy, the Congress party State chief, regarding his alleged statements made in connection to the paper leakage issue. The SIT has asked Reddy to share any information and proof he may have regarding the leak of papers. The Congress leader has been summoned to appear before the SIT officials on March 23 to provide evidence on the allegations he has made.
It has been reported that similar notices have been issued to other politicians as well. Reddy had previously alleged that IT Minister K T Rama Rao’s personal assistant Tirupati was also involved in the paper leak and that hundreds of candidates in his village got more than one hundred marks in the Group-1 preliminary exam conducted by the TSPSC in October last year.
In response to the notice issued by the SIT, Reddy claimed that he had not received any notice so far and stated that he was not afraid of SIT notices. He also said that he would not share any information with the SIT and that he would present evidence only if a probe committee headed by a sitting judge of the High Court was formed.
The SIT officials attempted to hand over notices to Reddy at his house but were refused by his office staff. As a result, the police pasted the notice on the wall of his house and left. The investigation into the TSPSC paper leak case is ongoing and any evidence provided by Reddy and other politicians will be considered by the SIT.
