Mumbai: Congress leader questions CDR leak in Kharat case

Mumbai: Congress has raised questions over the alleged leak of the Call Detail Records (CDR) of rape accused Ashok Kharat, pointing to his phone communications with deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde and senior BJP leaders Chandrakant Patil and Ashish Shelar, and Shiv Sena UBT's Milind Narvekar. Congress leader Sachin Sawant asked "whether the leak was selectively carried out by those in power to settle internal scores" and demanded a reply from the govt over the leak of CDR. A CDR contains a person's call records and can only be obtained by police or investigative agencies from telecom operators during an official probe. Recently, activist Anjali Damania reportedly received these CDR records from an unknown source. She shared the details with the govt and police before making them public Sawant said, "It's rare that such a crime got exposed." "How come the CDR reached a private person? Is SIT being misused to settle private scores by politicians?" he asked.
