US digital forensics firm Arsenal Consulting had claimed evidence had been "planted" on the devices of some accused persons in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case.
The Maharashtra government has told the Bombay High Court that US digital forensics firm Arsenal Consulting, that claimed evidence had been "planted" on electronic devices of some accused persons in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, had no "locus standi" to give its opinion without a court order. The Maharashtra government made the submission in an affidavit filed in the high court on July 1 which was taken on record on Tuesday. The affidavit was filed opposing a writ petition of activist Rona Wilson, one of the accused persons, seeking that the FIR and the chargesheet against him in the case be quashed. Mr Wilson is one of the accused persons, on whose computer, an incriminating letter was "planted", as per an Arsenal report released earlier this year.More Related News
