"Central Agency Trying To Fix Me": Telangana MLA's Alarm After 'Poachgate'

The BJP has alleged that the 'poachgate' case was stage-managed by the Telangana Chief Minister, anddenied any connection with the three accused in the case.

Two months after a farm house in Telangana's Moinabad was raided and the Cyberabad police claimed to have unearthed a conspiracy to topple the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi government by 'buying' four MLAs for Rs 100 crore each, the complainant in the case, Tandur MLA Rohith Reddy says there is an attempt to threaten and intimidate him using central agencies, even though it is a state-appointed Special Investigation Team that is probing the 'poachgate' case. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has alleged that the BJP was trying to bring down his government, and his party MLA Mr Reddy, one of those allegedly offered money to switch sides, is going to the court today asking why the Enforcement Directorate is getting involved with a case that it is not investigating.

The BJP has alleged that the 'poachgate' case was stage-managed by the Telangana Chief Minister, and denied any connection with the three accused in the case.

Speaking to NDTV, Rohith Reddy alleged that the ED is trying to 'fix' him because he exposed their 'conspiracy' to topple the state government. There was no exchange of money at his farmhouse, he has claimed.

Mr Reddy was called for questioning on December 19 and 20 by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with another case related to money laundering. He has, however, alleged that the ED overstepped and collected his personal details without telling him what case he was called in for.
