Manish Bhangale

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad today told the Bombay High Court that its preliminary inquiry has found that there was no exchange of calls between former state minister Eknath Khadse and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim and that no link was found, as alleged by a hacker.

Ethical hacker Manish Bhangale, who claims to have established that Khadse had been receiving calls from Dawood Ibrahim's Karachi home, especially from a phone line registered in the name of the fugitive's wife, stood vindicated after Khadse's resignation.

A Gujarat-based hacker who claims to have obtained call records which purportedly show calls from the gangster Dawood Ibrahim's house to the Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse, on Monday asked for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, while the opposition Congress sought the BJP leader's dismissal.
