Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse on Tuesday said he had written to the Ministry of External Affairs, the Union Home Minister and the Maharashtra CM, seeking a thorough probe into the allegations that he received phone calls from Dawood Ibrahim.
He also demanded action under the IT Act against Manish Bhangale, who claims to have hacked the website of a Pakistani telecom company to get the call records. The minister has rubbished the allegation that calls were made to his number from Dawood’s Karachi residence between September 2015 and April 2016, saying that the number was not in use for the past one year.
“The allegations against me are serious. I have written to the MEA, Union Home Minister and CM Devendra Fadnavis, asking for a thorough probe,” Khadse said.
