Sources have revealed that the ex-Essar employee who allegedly handled the tapping of VVIPs for five years has reported first in The Indian Express on Friday distancing himself from Suren Uppal, the Supreme Court lawyer who has told has represented him and who had complained about the tapping to the Prime Minister.
Khan who, Uppal has said had recently snapped all communication with him surfaced today to claim, in an email, that he never hired Uppal and that the lawyer had “concocted” the tapping story to “extract money from corporate bigwigs.
Uppal has said that he had enough evidence with me that Albasit Khan was in touch with me on the subject of the interception operations and he had logbooks of the entire operation handwritten by Albasit himself.
Meanwhile the Indian Express has with it copies of some of Khan’s alleged logbooks, transcripts of several of the intercepted conversations as well as purported emails exchanged between Albasit Khan, his son Umair Khan and Suren Uppal.
