Union min demands statement by Telangana govt

Hyderabad:  Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy demanded that the state government make a statement on the fire incident. "This is a matter of serious concern. We are coming to know that data related to investigation was there in computers and they got burnt. Government should make a clear statement," he told reporters. The government should make it clear whether back-up is there for the burnt computers or not, he said, hoping that alternative to technical and forensic evidence was available.

He claimed evidence and data related to high-profile cases, including cash-for-vote and telephone-tapping, were there in the FSL. The cash-for-vote case pertains to allegations against CM A Revanth Reddy, a TDP MLA in 2015, of trying to bribe a nominated MLA in connection with an MLC election.
