New Delhi: Suspended IAS officer Pradeep Sharma has moved a notice in the Supreme Court asking for the CBI to probe into the tapes which allegedly showed Gujarat government used state police to conduct surveillance on a woman.
Speaking to CNN-IBN's Bhupendra Chaubey, Sharma said the girl in question was extremely close to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and that she had even visited the CM's residence in 2010.
"She used to confide in me a lot, used to show SMSes sent by Modi," said Sharma while adding that the SMSes "were silly and personal in nature."
Sharma also said the girl and her family had benefited from their relationship with Modi.
He also cleared his relationship with the woman allegedly snooped upon by the Gujarat police, saying he had an professional relationship with her.
The bureaucrat alleged that the surveillance was carried out at the behest of Modi because he feared that the woman knew him. The father of the girl has also requested an end to the probe into the snooping controversy.
