The controversial compact disc containing purported conversations between noted lawyer Shanti Bhushan and political leaders Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh “is not not doctored or tampered with”, the Delhi police told a court here.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police has said the opinions of Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), New Delhi and the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) suggest there was no editing or tampering with the CD.

The police also said during interrogation, Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh had confirmed the part about his conversation with Mulayam Singh Yadav was genuine.

“Since the opinions given by CFSL Delhi and CERT-In are similar and the CERT-In, having expertise in information technology, confirms/corroborates the opinion of CFSL Delhi, there is no reason to disbelieve these two reports.

“Amar Singh, MP Rajya Sabha has also confirmed the conversation did take place between him and Mulayam Singh Yadav. Hence, it is established during the investigation carried out so far, that the CD in question is not doctored/tampered with,” the police said in a report placed before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav.

The Delhi Police sought permission to close the case filed on the complaint by Bhushan saying there was no substantive evidence to prove the offence of forgery as alleged by him.

Reacting to the Delhi Police report, Bhushan's son Prashant said: “We are seeing repeated campaigns to try and discredit members of civil society to show divisions within Anna Hazare's team.

“All these tactics appear to have been adopted by sections of the ruling establishment and the government.”

In its nine-page report, the police said: “From the evidence collected during the course of investigation, there is neither substantial nor corroborative evidence to prove the commission of offence, within the meaning of section 469 (forgery for the purpose of harming the reputation of any person) IPC.

“It is, therefore prayed that the case may please be cancelled.”

Bhushan had filed a complaint at the I P Estate police station here on April 14, 2011 alleging that the CD, containing his conversations with Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh, was fabricated and had denied having any conversation with them.

He had alleged that the CD was a “cut and paste job” to discredit the campaign, involved in drafting of the Lokpal Bill.

In the CD, Bhushan is allegedly heard telling Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh that his son Prashant can “manage a judge”.

The police said the CD, which Bhushan handed over to them, was examined at CFSL, Delhi, and report said “the recorded conversation in the CD could not have been tampered” with.

On April 21, the case was transferred to the Special Cell and the CD also sent to CFSL, Chandigarh, for a second opinion.

CFSL, Chandigarh, gave its findings in a report on May 2 saying the “recording present in the CD was not original and was a post-production edited version” the police said, adding, as both CFSLs gave different opinions the CD was then sent to CERT-In.

The CERT-In, in its report on May 28, said the “audio file containing the conversation was continuous with no sign of abrupt changes or editing marks”, the police said.

The agency said the CD, which was sent to the office of the Chief Justice of India by a leading daily after it received it at its office on April 13 by some unknown sender, was also got examined by the CFSL New Delhi.

The CFSL here opined in its report that the “recorded conversation in the CD could not have been tampered with”, it said.
