Former Telangana minister questioned in liquor smuggling probe

Investigators brought former minister Karumuri Nageswara Rao from Chanchalguda jail in Hyderabad to Vijayawada for questioning as part of an ongoing liquor smuggling investigation. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) conducted an extended interrogation session, examining the ex-minister's bank transactions and financial flows that may have facilitated the illegal liquor transport operation.

The questioning centred on Rao's alleged connections with other individuals named in the case, with SIT officials seeking to establish the network through which the contraband liquor was transported and distributed. Bank records and transaction details formed a crucial part of the investigation, as authorities attempt to trace the financial trail connecting the accused parties.

Rao, currently in judicial custody following his arrest in the case, was produced before the investigation team as part of standard interrogation procedures. The SIT's focus on financial transactions suggests investigators are building a comprehensive picture of the smuggling operation's operational and monetary mechanisms.
