While talking to media persons, Singh said, “The said cell phone number was uploaded on Rajya Sabha portal and thousands of persons had it, Besides, I have stopped using this number four years ago.”
He also dared PM Narendra Modi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadanvis and others to arrest him if he was guilty.

Senior officers of Pune police involved in the probe claimed that they have received some phone numbers mentioned in the letters recovered in the probe
