HYDERABAD: A PIL was filed in the Telangana HC seeking court- monitored CBI inquiry into the death of former Speaker of AP Assembly  Kodela Sivaprasada Rao on September 16. Petitioner Anil Kumar Borrugadda, submitted that Kodela was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his residence in Banjara Hills and was taken to hospital in an unresponsive state and was declared dead in the afternoon.

He alleged that there was a deep conspiracy behind the said death.
