Following the complaint about the threatening calls allegedly made to Handloom and Weavers' Welfare Minister P Shankar Rao, a police investigation has finally been set in motion to unearth the culprits.
Commissioner of Police A K Khan on Monday met the minister in the Secretariat and confabulated with Dr. Shankar Rao.
Khan was closeted with the minister for quite some time in his chambers.
Dr. Shankar Rao, normally articulate to the point of being garrulous, chose to remain uncommunicative. He, however, stood by his grounds that the culprit spoke to him in an intemperate language that did not deserve print.
Asked further whether Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy had spoken to him, the reply was in the negative.
