I am being made scapegoat: IPS officer Rashmi Shukla to Bombay HC in phone tapping case

IPS officer Rashmi Shukla told the Bombay High Court on Friday that she is being made a scapegoat in the phone tapping case of the Maharashtra State Intelligence Department (SID).

IPS officer Rashmi Shukla, named in the phone tapping case of the Maharashtra State Intelligence Department (SID), told the Bombay High Court on Friday that she is being made a scapegoat by the Maharashtra government, while the state's chief secretary, Sitaram Kunte, is getting protection. Rashmi Shukla's lawyer, Mahesh Jethmalani, said that it was Sitaram Kunte who had sanctioned phone tapping and now he "cannot absolve himself" by putting blame on the senior 'upright officer'.
