The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will examine the alleged conversation between M.S. Jaffar Sait, when he was the Additional Director-General of Police (Intelligence), Tamil Nadu, and Sharad Kumar Reddy, former managing director of Kalaignar TV, which was published in a section of the media a couple of days ago. 

The Hindu AAP leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav addressing the media regarding the DMK chief's family's alleged involvement in 2G scam kickbacks, releasing taped conversation.  

The conversation, and transcripts revealed by Prashant Bhushan, Aam Aadmi Party leader and lawyer-activist, in New Delhi on Tuesday Feb 04,2014, purportedly show how documents were tampered with to cover up the trail of money to the channel in the 2G spectrum case. 

Prashant Bhushan seeks probe into ‘fresh evidence’ in 2G scam

At a press conference on Tuesday, at which another AAP leader Yogendra Yadav was present, Prashant Bhushan claimed that DMK chief M. Karunanidhi was “fully in know of things.” He also alleged the involvement of a Tata subsidiary company.

Prashant Bhushan, who had filed a PIL in the Supreme Court in the 2G spectrum scam, said he would soon upload tapes containing conversations between important “stakeholders.”

Claiming that the tapes said to date back to February-March 2011 “shed new light on the scam,” he sought a thorough probe into “fresh evidence.”

“The CBI is in the process of obtaining the recordings or transcripts of the said conversation after which necessary action as per law will be taken. We will also examine the conversation (purportedly between Mr. Jaffar Sait and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader M. Karunanidhi’s secretary Shanmuganathan) that was brought to public domain today,” a CBI official told

DMKpresident M. Karunanidhi on Tuesday Feb 04,2014, described as a “lie” the contents of a tape released by the Aam Aadmi Party leader Prashant Bhushan

Kalaignar TV in a statement said that the tape released by AAP leader Prashant Bhushan of conversations between Sharad Kumar Reddy, former MD and M.S. Jaffar Sait, former ADGP, Tamil Nadu, was done so with ulterior political motives.

“The way the tape was released — after the gap of three years — clearly shows that some mischievous elements have recorded fake conversations to discredit Kalaignar TV,”
