Hyderabad: Former SIB Chief Expected Back in India
Prabhakar Rao, a former chief of the Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB) and the main suspect in a phone tapping case, is likely to return to India on June 9 after spending time in the United States. Reports indicate that Rao has reached out to the Indian embassy in the US to retrieve his passport.
Recently, the Supreme Court asked the authorities to give back his passport, allowing him to travel back home. The court also assured him protection from arrest but instructed him to arrive in India within three days of receiving his travel documents.
Rao’s passport was previously canceled at the request of the Hyderabad police, who claimed he was avoiding questioning by citing health issues. Following the registration of a phone tapping case in 2024, Rao had left for the US.
