Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) sleuths issued notices to TV9, Studio N and HMTV news channels under section 91 of CrPC seeking audiovisuals and video footage of cash-for-vote accused Mathias Jerusalem and Bishop Sebastian.

ACB is going to send the transcripts of Sebastian's conversation with Jerusalem recorded in a cell phone to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for authentication. Soon after receiving the authentication report, Voice Samples of few more accused will be sent to FSL.

In case of Revanth Reddy, ACB filed a petition seeking the fire-brand MLA's admitted voice sample, his address in the Assembly, for conducting a voice-match test. The investigation agency already sent a requisition to Telangana Assembly Speaker through the court for admitted voice recordings (Assembly speech) of another TDP MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah.
