An FIR has been lodged against senior IPS officer Rashmi Shukla in Pune on Saturday in connection with an alleged illegal phone tapping of State Congress president Nana Patole during the previous government.
Ms. Shukla is currently the Additional Director General of CRPF (South Zone) at Hyderabad.
Last year, Mr. Patole had alleged that his phone was tapped during 2016-2017 on the pretext that it belonged to someone accused in a case of narcotics smuggling. He had said, “I was a Member of Parliament in 2016-17 and there was no reason to tap my phone. This is an attempt to destroy political careers."
