Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar, a former MP, alleged the tappings were carried out at the behest of the state government in view of the upcoming elections.
A senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader has accused the police in Andhra Pradesh of unauthorised phone tapping in a complaint to the Election Commission of India. Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar, a former MP, alleged the tappings were carried out at the behest of the state government in view of the upcoming elections.
Nara Lokesh, son of former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, had received alerts on his iPhone "informing that his phones are tapped using Pegasus software by unknown agencies", Mr Kumar said in his complaint. He had received similar alerts in March 2024, he added.
"Time and again, we represented that the present DGP Sri Rajendranath Reddy and Intelligence chief Mr. PSR Anjaneyulu have become lackeys of the YSRCP and are resorting to unethical and unlawful acts to jeopardise the prospects of NDA alliance partners in the ensuing elections to Assembly of AP and House of People," read the complaint.
