On allegations of corruption, Rama Rao says funds released by govt reached FEO, hence the issue does not arise
A team of ACB officials, comprising the agency's joint director Ritira, DSP Majid Ali Khan and deputy director SVN Shivaram, on Thursday grilled former Municipal Administration minister KT Rama Rao for over seven hours as part of the investigation into the allegation of corruption in organising the Formula-E car race in 2023.
Rama Rao, accompanied by senior advocate J Ramachandra Rao, reached the heavily barricaded ACB office at Banjara Hills at 10:10 am.
According to sources, Rama Rao was reportedly asked whether he was aware of the alleged illegality in the transfer of funds to a foreign firm, the reason behind the payment at a time the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) was in force, and why no prior approval from the Cabinet or RBI was obtained.
