Amid controversy over leakage of telephonic conversations involving top industrialists, corporate lobbyist Niira Radia and others, the Finance Ministry has asked the DoT to enquire into the conduct of telecom operators and identify individuals involved in it.
DoT (Department of Telecom) will have to conduct a further enquiry to establish leakage of the telephonic intercepts in the end of telecom service providers, to identify actual individuals who are involved in this,” Finance Ministry said in a communication to Telecom Secretary R Chandrashekhar.
The communication follows enquiry by a two-member committee set up by the Finance Ministry to enquire into the leakage of tapes which found their way to media and generated controversy.
