Live! Tapes linked with Ishrat case appear to be genuine: CBI

August 15, 2013 17:50

CBI has claimed that the tapes carrying purported conversations of Gujarat government officials discussing ways to save Ishrat Jahan case accused are not doctored.

CBI sources said the tapes provided by one of the accused Gujarat police officer to the agency have not been edited and prima-facie appear to be genuine.

They said that in order to understand whether the voices in the tapes are of those to whom they have been attributed, the agency would require court's intervention.

There are people in the conversation which are purportedly Gujarat government officials identified by some witnesses and accused during their questioning, they said.

Any comparison of the voices in the tapes with the suspected participants can only be done with the voice samples which can be taken only after court's permission, they said.
