The Telangana Rashtra Samiti government in Telangana on Wednesday ordered the setting up of a seven-member special investigation team to probe into the case related to alleged poaching of the party MLAs.

Headed by the Hyderabad city police commissioner CV Anand, the SIT was formed after the director-general of police M Mahendar Reddy informed the state government that since the case which, he felt, was sensitive, high-profile and sensational in nature, it involved investigation from multiple dimensions.

"The director general of police, Telangana-Hyderabad, has, therefore, requested the government to constitute a "special investigation team' in public interest to carry out proper investigation in an expeditious manner,' the GO said.

The case of poaching was filed based on a complaint from Pilot Rohith Reddy.

Relevant sections -- criminal conspiracy, offering bribe and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 -- were invoked against Ramachandra Bharati alias Satish Sharma, Nanda Kumar and Simhayaji Swamy on October 26.

As per a copy of the FIR, Rohith Reddy alleged the accused offered him Rs 100 crore and in return the legislator has to leave the TRS and contest as a BJP candidate in the next Assembly elections. -- PTI
