The verb must be reflexive; omit the ‘se’ and the meaning changes to ‘to order’ rather than ‘to take charge of’.
¿Quién se está encargando mi caso ahora?
‘Encargarse’ always requires the preposition ‘de’; leaving it out makes the sentence ungrammatical.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, using ‘encargarse de’ sounds professional and respectful. Avoid the more casual ‘encargar’ (which means ‘to order’) because it changes the meaning entirely. When speaking with a client, keep the tone courteous and add a ‘por favor’ if you want extra politeness: ‘¿Podría decirme quién se está encargando de mi caso ahora, por favor?’
