"KT Rama Rao will be appearing before ED authorities today with regard to the Formula E race case. As we have been mentioning from day one, the Congress government in Telangana is falsely implicating KT Rama Rao in the case. In a case where there is no corruption at all in an issue where there is no misappropriation of funds, they are trying to prove it is a corruption case. We have explained and placed all the facts before the people of Telangana. The people are in complete belief that there is no corruption," Reddy told ANI.

"KT Rama Rao has been questioning the government for not implementing the promises made during the elections. So somehow to suppress the voices of opposition they are trying to fix him," he added.

Earlier today, KTR dismissed accusations of financial mismanagement and corruption over the Formula E race case, emphasizing that hosting the event in Telangana remains one of his most cherished decisions as a Minister.

In a post on X, KTR criticized political opponents, particularly Congress, for attempting to tarnish the initiative.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also registered an enforcement case information report (ECIR) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against KTR and others in the case. The ED filed the ECIR after the Telangana ACB registered a First Information Report (FIR) against KTR and others in the Formula-E funding case.

Earlier, after his appearance before ACB on January 9, in connection with the Formula-E race case, KTR claimed that he was repeatedly asked the same questions for over seven hours, despite having no substantial evidence to back the charges. (ANI)
