Snooping row: Trouble for Modi, more audio tapes to be released

New Delhi, Dec 24: More trouble in store for BJP prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as news portal Gulail is planning to release new audio tapes on the alleged snooping row.

The tapes reportedly show how state machinery was used to tap the phone and stalk the woman in and outside Gujarat. Two news portals, Cobrapost and Gulail, had claimed on November 15 that Modi close-aide Amit Shah had ordered illegal surveillance of a woman in Gujarat at the behest of one "saheb".

 

They had released purported taped conversation between Shah and IPS officer GL Singhal to support their claim but said the authenticity of the tape could not be confirmed.

However, the father of the woman had told the National Commission of Women that his daughter does not want any probe into the issue as there was no encroachment of her privacy. "It is an earnest wish of my daughter that no further probe (in snooping issue) is necessary as being politically demanded," he had said in a letter to NCW and Gujarat State Commission for Women.
