Suspended IPS officer Rajnesh Singh on Monday went to the office of Economic Offence Wing (EOW) to record his statement in the purported illegal phone tapping case.
Singh, a former Sukma superintendent of plice, was questioned by a team of police officer at length. Sources in the department informed that he denied any wrongdoing.
Notably, the suspended DG Mukesh Gupta had already given his statement to the EOW in the illegal phone tapping case. Gupta claimed that he had all required permissions from the state government for tapping the calls. FIR was registered against Singh under Sections 166, 166 A(b) 167 (Public servant disobeying law, with intent to cause injury to any person), 193 (false evidence), 201 (Causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender), 466 (Forgery of record of Court or of public register,), 471 (Using as genuine a forged) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). He was also charged under the Section 25, 26 and 5(2) of Indian Telegraph Act.
