Phone tapping case: Cops file final report in case on scribe, Pilot aide

Days after the Rajasthan High Court sought the “assistance” of the Advocate General regarding filing of FIR against a journalist, the Rajasthan police on Saturday filed its final report in the phone tapping case.

Manoj Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jaipur South, confirmed that a final report has been filed in the matter. Kumar said the “origin” of the WhatsApp texts — on the basis of which the FIR was filed against Sachin Pilot’s aide Lokendra Singh and Aaj Tak’s Rajasthan Editor Sharat Kumar — “could not be established”.

A final report refers to that document which records the conclusion arrived at by the police after the investigation process.
