New Delhi, Apr 18: Amar Singh today hit back at the father-son duo of Shanti and Prashant Bhushan on the alleged fake CD episode and lodged a police complaint against them for distributing discs containing “tampered” conversations despite a Supreme Court stay.


He accused the Bhushans  of implicating him in the controversial CD case.

A day after Prashant Bhushan claimed “prima facie” Amar Singh could be involved in the controversial CD purportedly containing a conversation between senior Bhushan, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and Singh, Amar Singh went to the IP Estate Police Station to file a complaint against the Bhushans.

In his two-page complaint, Singh claimed that  despite a stay by the apex court, they had distributed the CD “containing illegally tapped and morphed/edited and tampered conversations of mine, which are presently the subject matter of a writ before the Supreme Court”.

He said the the CDs being “distributed” by the Bhushans were tampered/morphed/edited “possibly by Prashant Bhushan in order to portray the statements made by Shanti Bhushan in a better light to save his face”.

Singh claimed that the father and son have “apparently” made more than five different versions of the said conversation in order to dilute the original conversation.

“In the original CD containing the illegally tapped conversation, Shanti Bhushan states that his son Prashant Bhushan files PILs to extort money as also imputes scandalous allegations about the judiciary as also the erstwhile Law Minister of India,” Singh claimed in the complaint.

While submitting a copy each of the alleged four different versions of the CD to the police, Singh demanded that they be sent to a reputed national laboratory to verify whether the conversation in the CDs is tampered or edited.

In his two-page complaint with I P Estate Police Station, Singh claimed that despite a stay by the apex court, they had distributed the CD “containing illegally tapped and morphed/edited and tampered conversations of mine, which are presently the subject matter of a writ before the Supreme Court”.

He said the the CDs being “distributed” by the Bhushans were tampered/morphed/edited “possibly by Prashant Bhushan in order to portray the statements made by Shanti Bhushan in a better light to save his face”.

Singh claimed that the father and son have “apparently” made more than five different versions of the said conversation in order to dilute the original conversation.

While submitting a copy each of the alleged four different versions of the CD to the police, Singh demanded that they be sent to a reputed national laboratory to verify whether the conversation in the CDs is tampered or edited.  Singh said he believed that the conversation was not only illegally tapped but has been tampered and morphed to “bring disrepute to Mulayam Singh and I”.

He also apprehended that some industrial houses and also some persons inimically inclined towards him are seeking to reap benefits from the discord arising from the conversations being made public.

At a press conference later, Singh said that the Bhushans were “habitual” contemnors as they had in the past attacked Chief Justices K G Balakrishnan and S H Kapadia and were now now making a song and dance filing a contempt petition against him.

He sought to defend Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh for questioning a property purchased by the Bhushans in Allahabad. PTI
