‘Formula probe as per law’

The investigation into the Formula E-Car Racing case is going on as per law, Revenue, Housing and Information and Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said.
He said the government had got the Governor’s permission to probe BRS Working President KT Rama Rao. He said the Governor gave permission to the government after seeking legal advice.
The Chief Secretary will send the file that the Governor approved allowing KTR to be investigated to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday night or Tuesday. The ACB will conduct a probe as per law, Ponguleti said.
He said the Chief Secretary had given permission to probe IAS officer Arvind Kumar in the same case.
“We gave a letter to the Governor much earlier but the Governor gave permission only now. The money went to foreign countries during the Formula E-Car Racing. The BRS Government did not take RBI permission. The probe will reveal where the money has gone. Money transfer in E-Car racing is nothing but match-fixing. Corruption worth crores took place. The ACB will start its probe and facts will come out. It is up to BRS leaders to decide whether they should launch a padayatra or not after coming out of jail. The BRS leaders’ statements that the state will become a fireball reveal their arrogance. Action will be taken as per law,” Ponguleti said.
He was speaking to the media after the Cabinet meeting held for five hours in the Assembly Committee Hall on Monday.
He said the Cabinet discussed the Governor’s approval for prosecuting KTR and the looting that took place during the Formula E-Car Racing event.
“I cannot say about KTR’s arrest. The law will take its own course. BRS leaders said recently that Ponguleti’s political bombs were defused. If my bombs were defused, then why did KTR run to New Delhi? BRS MLAs behaved like goons in the Assembly. They disturbed the House by displaying placards and chanting slogans as they don’t have anything to speak in the House,” Ponguleti said.  
He said the government will make the ROR Act–2024 law in this session and would not take any vengeful acts.
