The Cyber Cell of Mumbai Police on Saturday gathered CBI chief and previous Maharashtra DGP Subodh Kumar Jaiswal in a telephone tapping and information release case, a senior authority said here. Jaiswal has been approached to be available to record his assertion on October 14, the police official said. The summons was sent by email, he added.
The case identifies with the ‘spill’ of a report ready by IPS official Rashmi Shukla about supposed debasement in police moves in Maharashtra when she headed the state insight office (SID). Jaiswal was the chief general of police during this period.
It was affirmed that telephones of senior lawmakers and authorities were tapped illicitly during the request and the report was spilled intentionally, however, the FIR enlisted in such a manner by the digital cell doesn’t name Shukla or some other authority. Authorities of the BKC digital police headquarters had before recorded Shukla’s assertion. Shukla is presently posted as Additional Director General of CRPF.
The FIR was enlisted against obscure people forgetting “a grouped letter and ordered data” of the SID under area 30 of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 (falsely holding a message conveyed accidentally), areas 44(b) (inability to outfit data on schedule) and 66 (PC related offense) of the Information Technology Act, 2008, and segment 5 (illegitimate correspondence of data) of the Official Secrets Act, 1923. Jaiswal, a 1985 Maharashtra-framework IPS official, has additionally filled in as Mumbai police chief before.
