The NIA has written to Apple - the maker of iPhone - in connection with the investigation into the death of businessman Mansukh Hiren.
Former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, who is facing investigation in connection with the Antilia bomb scare case and murder of businessman Mansukh Hiren, allegedly used the FaceTime ID 'Balaji Kurkure' to communicate through his phone, the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the case, is reported to have been told. During the investigation, an intelligence officer told the NIA that the ID on Param Bir Singh's iPhone was created in April in his office. The ID was named Balaji Kurkure because a packet of this brand's snack was kept in Param Bir Singh's office when the ID was created, stated the chargesheet. In his statement to the NIA, the intelligence officer said that as there was no network inside Param Bir Singh's DG Home Guard office, the person who was activating the Facetime ID came outside to enter the ID and password. "I typed the password, the first name was Kurkure and the last name Balaji was used while creating iPhone ID, he has used this name because at that time Balaji Kurkure pack was kept in the office," the officer said. The NIA has written to Apple - the maker of iPhone - in connection with the investigation into the death of Mansukh Hiren - the businessman who owned the car in which the gelatin sticks were planted near the residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani in February this year - to look into several email IDs and accounts in connection with the probe.More Related News
