Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Claims Cops Spying, Police Deny Allegations

The Congress leader said he has written to Director General of Police Vivek Johari to probe the matter

A Congress MLA from Madhya Pradesh's Betul district on Friday accused the police of spying on politicians, police officers, journalists and businessmen and sought an inquiry into the matter.

Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Neeraj Soni, however, denied the claim and dubbed the charges levelled by Congress MLA Nilay Vinod Daga against the police as "baseless".

Mr Daga said his call detail records (CDR) and those of other public representatives, police officers and journalists were being obtained by the police.

The Congress leader said he has written to Director General of Police Vivek Johari to probe the matter.
