Patil to discuss telecom controversy

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.
