A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed in Visakhapatnam against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for allegedly defaming his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Chandrababu Naidu.

The FIR comes after the Andhra Pradesh Government said last evening that the voice in the tapes released last evening with respect to the vote scam during the Telangana MLC elections did not belong to Naidu.
