Telgi: I'm being poisoned slowly

<div class="section0"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-size:="">NEW DELHI: In his letters to his lawyer, stamp scam kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi seems to be distrustful of CBI. "I am a confused man. I don''t know what to do. I don''t know what is in CBI''s mind. It is very difficult whom to trust, and whom not to trust," wrote Telgi on April 20.His letters, showing him as a deeply despairing man, also brings out his apprehension that he was being "poisoned slowly."</span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="">While Telgi''s confession may not be enough to secure punishment for those whom he names as real culprits, his confession plan seems to have been prompted by his intention to thwart his co-accused from getting away. "My co-accused have stolen crores of rupees in cash and various types of stamps. The amount is very high. I have given above details to CBI. I am very much worried because my co-accused may sell the stolen stamp and obtain their release on bail and the cases may be be registered on (against) my name. It will create problems for me. I have complete list of persons who have stolen the cash and stamps." TOI has copies of these letters which carry the seal of Yervada Jail.</span><br /><br /><span style="" font-size:="">It is been six months since Telgi first indicated to give a confessional statement. On October 30, 2004, Telgi wrote to Rahman he is not the real kingpin. "I am not the kingpin but one Mohammad Sayeed Mohammad Yasin of Calcutta is the person who printed and circulated the stamps." Telgi''s judicial custody was extended till June 8 by special Mcoca court on May 6 after the latest hearing was adjourned.</span><br /></div> </div>
