**HYDERABAD, June 13, 2025** – The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has issued a second summons to K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), working president of the BRS party and former IT Minister, concerning alleged financial irregularities surrounding the Formula E race held in Hyderabad in February 2023. KTR is required to appear before the bureau at 10:00 a.m. on June 16th.

The ACB’s investigation focuses on a ₹54 crore payout, including ₹8 crore in taxes, made to the race organizers. Authorities are examining whether this transaction bypassed necessary Cabinet approvals. The investigation has also extended to senior bureaucrat Arvind Kumar, who received a memo regarding the authorization of the payment.

KTR confirmed the summons via a post on ‘X’, stating, “I have been summoned by the ACB to appear for ‘investigation’ on Monday at 10 a.m., in the Formula E case where ₹44 crore was transferred bank to bank and the money is very much in the account of FE. As a law-abiding citizen, I will attend and fully cooperate with the ACB officials.”

He further added, “When you cannot run a government, keep people busy with a circus and distractions! Congress and its clown CM’s antics won’t deter us.” This suggests KTR views the investigation as politically motivated.
