Pune, Sept 07: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) legislator Krishna Yadav, arrested yesterday in connection with the fake stamp paper scam, had allegedly demanded Rs two crore from Abdul Karim Telgi, the prime accused in the scam that has rocked Maharashtra and has ramifications in several states in the country.
This is revealed in a tape in the possession of the special investigation team which was played before the judicial magistrate first class, Pune, while seeking the legislator's police custody here today.
The prosecution said the tape which was recovered from the house of Telgi in Karim Court, Colaba in Mumbai, contains conversations between the TDP MLA and Telgi. Telgi had allegedly recorded the conversations because once the MLA started demanding a lot of money he wanted to hit back when necessary.
On April 29, sit summoned the TDP MLA and confronted him with the tape, but he denied that it was his voice and that he knew Telgi. Then sit sent the voice samples of the MLA to Central Forensic Laboratory, New Delhi, which confirmed that the voice was indeed that of the MLA, the sit said.
In the tape Telgi called up the legislator to settle the matter regarding the fake stamp racket. After exchanging formalities, Telgi asks how they could settle the matter and the voice purported to be that of the MLA says 'two crore'.
