We would like to study the copy of transcriptions of the alleged conversations that the CBI has collected as we want to ensure that they have not tampered with the evidence, said the defence lawyer.

The CBI was granted two days time to decide if it wanted to share the requested information with Desh Rajs attorney. The court asked the CBI to reply about the status of the demanded documents on Tuesday.
