The Delhi Police have sought closure of the CD case involving alleged conversations between senior advocate Shanti Bhushan, Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Amar Singh and Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav regarding fixing a Supreme Court Judge on the Bench hearing the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
In the closure report, the Special Cell of the city police said they had failed to find “any clue of the culprits” who were involved in the creation of the CD.
“Sincere efforts were made to trace...original recording and the person/(s) who might have edited/circulated the same to achieve some vested interest but it could not be known,” the closure report said.
Taking the closure report on record, the court fixed September 20 as the date for its consideration.
The police had also earlier sought to close the case but the court had rejected it. It had asked them to expeditiously probe the motive behind creation of the CD.
It had ordered further probe into it as the police in its closure report had said that the CD having Shanti Bhushan’s voice purportedly telling Mulayam Singh Yadav that his son Prashant Bhushan could manage a Supreme Court judge was a genuine one.
The case was registered on a complaint by Shanti Bhushan that the CD was fabricated in order to defame him. He had denied having any conversation with either Mulayam Singh Yadav or Amar Singh.
He had alleged that the CD was a “cut-and-paste job” to discredit the campaign for a strong anti-graft Lokpal Bill.
