Hyderabad: Director General of Police (DGP) office on Monday dismissed the phone tapping allegation as baseless and defamatory in nature. DGP office was reacting to allegations made by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Revanth Reddy.

In a statement, the DGP office denied the allegations. "Telangana Police Department has been taking all necessary measures as per the provisions of law for the prevention of crime, detection of crime, and maintenance of public order and peace.
