Formula E race scam: Telangana HC extends stay on KTR’s arrest

In a relief to BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR), the Telangana High Court on Tuesday, December 31 extended the stay on his arrest in connection with the Formula E race case. During the hearing, the court directed the ACB not to arrest KTR until a verdict is pronounced on his plea.

On December 21, KTR filed the quash petition after the ACB had filed a case



against him charging him with criminal breach of trust and misappropriation of funds amounting to Rs 55 crore.

Submitting the counter-petition before the court, the ACB had sought cancellation of the interim bail of KTR, arguing that granting him bail at this juncture would hamper the investigation. The ACB has sought KTR’s custody to question him regarding the allegations.
