Phone tapping case: Cops summon Mahesh Joshi to Delhi
Written by news2in

JAIPUR: The Delhi police crime branch has sent a notice to Congress chief whip Mahesh Joshi for questioning in the phone tapping case following an FIR filed by Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
Joshi has been asked to appear before the crime branch at 11am on June 24.
Joshi has been called for questioning at Prashant Vihar office of the Delhi crime branch in Rohini.
The notice has been issued by inspector Satish Malik.
When contacted, Joshi said, “I am out of Jaipur.
I came to know about it through social media.
I will respond to it after reaching Jaipur.” He also added that he “was not aware of any FIR” registered against him in Delhi.
“You are hereby informed to appear before the undersigned on June 24 at 11am at SOS-I crime branch, Prashant Vihar, Rohini Sec 14, New Delhi,” said the notice.
Shekhawat had lodged an FIR also against chief minister Ashok Gehlot’s OSD Lokesh Sharma and others in the phone tapping case.
Sharma had approached the Delhi High Court to quash the FIR lodged by the crime branch against him.
The court had asked the crime branch not to take any action against him and posted it for next hearing on August 6.
Last year, Mahesh Joshi had lodged an FIR with SOG and ACB against Shekhawat and others on the basis of leaked audio clips of phone calls in which Shekhawat is allegedly heard talking to a middleman and MLAs of the Sachin Pilot camp in the conspiracy to topple the Congress government in the state.
