“To avoid exchange of emails, Narendra used to save attached copies of CDRs as a draft in an email account and provide access to the account to his associates, who then downloaded the information and provided it to their clients,” said the officer.
JCP (crime) Ravindra Singh Yadav said, “After his arrest, accused Pankaj Tiwari told the police he came to Delhi after his BSc and started working with an IT company in Laxmi Nagar. He later joined BLS Management Solutions Pvt. Ltd (BLMS) and worked there from 2010 to 2013 as a telecaller. At BLMS, he learned the procedure of procuring CDRs and later joined another company. He quit the job and started his own detective agency in 2014.”
Yadav said accused Sanjeev Chaudhary joined BLMS as marketing executive in 2004 and was promoted to senior sales manager in 2013. He became proficient in verification of matrimonial and pre-matrimonial cases, corporate investigation as well as financial management. “He was assigned the tasks of procurement of CDRs illegally. He was initially reluctant and told this to his operations head Vinod Chaudhary and Sunil Pathak, but he was forced to do it after the owners intervened.
