Category: Crime | No Comments | Posted on January 4, 2006

In the wake of the controversy over the tapping of the phone of Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh, Home Minister Shivraj Patil is likely to call a meeting of CEOs of all public and private telecom companies.

The meeting is expected to work out a plan for plugging loopholes in telecom companies that could lead to unauthorised interception of phone calls.

Two men – Bhupendra Kumar, who ran a private detective agency in south Delhi, and Kuldeep an employee of Reliance Infocomm – have so far been arrested in connection with the illegal tapping of Amar Singh’s phone.
