On January 16, 2025, K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), a prominent leader of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in relation to the Formula E car race case. The investigation focuses on possible irregularities and financial implications surrounding the event, which was held in Hyderabad in 2023. Given the political sensitivity of the case, KTR’s appearance has been a matter of high scrutiny, drawing attention from various sections of the media.
The ED office in Hyderabad was heavily guarded by Telangana police forces, with roadblocks, security personnel, and surveillance cameras ensuring tight control over the area. The large number of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) activists gathered outside the ED office only added to the tense atmosphere. They showed their support for KTR, calling the inquiry politically motivated. The presence of security forces served as a clear indication of the potentially volatile nature of the situation, highlighting the need for extra precautionary measures in such cases.
