Gujarat snooping row: I didn't clear phone-tapping, says former top cop to NDTV
The expansive surveillance of a young woman in Gujarat by the state's most senior police officers was "elaborate protection, not snooping", the BJP has claimed, as it battles allegations that the espionage was illegal and ordered by Narendra Modi, who is now running for Prime Minister. But SK Saikia, who was the commissioner of the Ahmedabad police when the woman's phone was tapped for several months, told NDTV today that no clearances appeared to have been taken to monitor her.
