Telangana agriculture chief seeks probe into Rythu Bharosa SMS
In short
Telangana agriculture officials asked police to investigate Rythu Bharosa SMS messages sent to farmers in some districts. The messages were called unauthorised, and the reporting says they reached 2.73 lakh farmers.
This matters because it could be a cybercrime case involving a government-linked farm scheme. The reporting does not say who sent the messages or what they said.
