In the chargesheet filed by the CBI, Singhal has given evidence of the high-level meeting held by the Gujarat government.

Singhal has disclosed that the meeting was held in November 2011, when the HC was supervising this case and had also directed the state government not to obstruct investigations by the probe agency.

Singhal along with another accused cop - then assistant commissioner of police, crime branch, Tarun Barot - had been coached on how to mislead the investigating agency. Singhal had attended the meeting with advocate Rohit Verma.

Secretary to the chief minister, Girish Murmu, IPS officer A K Sharma and the then minister of state for home Praful Patel, MoS law Pradipsinh Jadeja and current education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama were at this meeting.

The CBI in its chargesheet says that the matter came to light when Singhal surrendered a pen drive containing an audio recording of the meeting during investigation. The CBIrecorded a punchnama of the pen drive before taking it into possession.
