LIVE! Snoopgate: Woman's father approaches SC for quashing probe
May 06, 2014  16:18
Just in: The father of the woman who was being snooped upon, has approached the Supreme Court seeking restraint on the inquiry into the case by the Centre and the Gujarat government.

In November 2013, the so-called "snoopgate" scandal broke when two websites, Cobrapost.com and Gulail.com, obtained audio recordings of telephone conversations in which Narendra Modi's right-hand man Amit Shah directed the illegal surveillance of a young woman in late 2009, at Modi's request.

The surveillance included tapping her phone, tailing her family, and even monitoring her movements outside the state boundaries.

The BJP admitted that Modi had used the state government machinery to monitor the young woman, claiming the surveillance, although without her knowledge, was at the request of her father (which would still be illegal). A judicial panel has now been set up to probe the affair.
