HYDERABAD, March 9: After dillydallying for four days, the city police has finally set in motion the process of complying with court orders to produce former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao's son Prabhakar Rao before it.Police authorities are understood to have written a letter to the Special Protection Group (SPG) assistant director here, asking him to give details about the whereabouts of Prabhakar Rao, one of the suspects in the Rs 133-crore urea scam.On March 4, the economic offences court here had issued a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) against Prabhakar Rao, who has SPG security cover. The warrant was issued after R K S Nim, chief enforcement officer of the Enforcement Directorate, filed a private complaint in the court.ED officials had served summons to Prabhakar at least 10 times, asking him to appear before them for interrogation in connection with the urea scam. ``As he failed to appear before us, we filed a private complaint in the court,'' Nim told The Indian Express. The court thendirected the Director-General of Police H J Dora and city Police Commissioner R P Singh to execute the order.However, the police had been claiming that Prabhakar could not be ``traced''. ``This is like any other NBW and we have time till April 1,'' argued a senior official of the city police.Meanwhile, Prabhakar, who was in the city till the early hours of Sunday, managed to sneak away to a farm house near Patancheru in the neighbouring Medak district. According to an SPG fax received by the offices of the DGP and commissioner at about 4.15 pm yesterday, the former prime minister's son left Hyderabad at 4.42 am and reached the farm house (Lakshmi Farm House, believed to be owned by his close relative) at about 6 am.Though the fax was received at 4.15 pm, a police team left Hyderabad only at 7.30 pm and by the time they reached the farm house, it was 9.30 in the night.The police were told by the inmates of the farm house that Prabhakar left the place at 3.30 pm.This morning, Prabhakar moved theAP High Court seeking its intervention in staying the NBW issued against him and the court posted the matter for hearing tomorrow.
