New Delhi, Feb 28: A number of new and sensational information have tumbled out in the Arun Jaitley's call records case.
Although the Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has clarified in the Rajya Sabha today that attempts had been made indeed to access Arun Jaitley's phone records but no information had been obtained.
"This was not the case of phone tapping. The Delhi Police has made some arrests, they said we came to know some person sought to know call record data of Arun Jaitley... The call data records were not disclosed," Shinde told Rajya Sabha.
But the case does not look that simple. New disclosures suggest that a number of BJP leaders were on the radar of those who were trying to get access to Arun Jaitley's Call Data Records (CDR). Police sources say that BJP leaders like Nitin Gadkari, Sudhanshu Mittal and Vijay Goel were also being tracked by those involved in Jaitley's CDR spying case.
According to sources, more than 60 people including Lalit Modi and Mumbai businessman Nitin Shah were also on target of this group.
In the meantime, JD (U) leader Shivanand Tiwari has also alleged that he and his party leaders are being spied upon. He said that it has come to his knowledge that he and his party leader N K Singh are being tracked by vested interests.
Now the million dollar question is – is Arun Jaitley's case just a tip of the iceberg? Is there a larger conspiracy behind the entire phone tapping episode?
