recorded phone conversations between him and convicted hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam excluded as evidence, calling them "extremely prejudicial".
Gupta's lawyer Gary Naftalis submitted documents in the US District Court, Southern District of New York on Monday arguing that a July 2008 conversation between the two does not contain "direct evidence" that Gupta provided confidential information to Rajaratnam.
