Essar case: Plea for court-monitored SIT investigation

Advocate Suren Uppal has claimed that he has filed the petition on the basis of CDs of the recorded conversations whose genuineness also he wants to be examined.

He submitted that he had come to know of the “illegal and unlawful acts of tapping” done allegedly at the behest of the Essar from one of its employees, who has now left the company.

He alleged that from 2001 to 2006 phones of some of the prominent citizens, including ministers, top government officials and corporate houses, of our country were tapped. Essar Group has denied all charges.

He said that the recorded conversations are “incriminating” and if found to be genuine, “would exhibit the unscrupulous/evil nexus between politicians, higher government officials and India’s top corporate houses”.
