The Delhi Police on Tuesday visited the BHEL office at Lodhi Colony in connection with the hoax call received by Attorney General G E Vahanvati from a woman claiming to be Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Sources said a team of five-six police officers along with a woman police officer visited the BHEL office at 2.30 pm. They said the policemen first sought permission from the human resources department of the company to question the woman whose office is on the fifth floor of the building. Sources said this was the first visit by the officers of the Economic Offences Wing,which is conducting an inquiry into the case. The police have found that the call to the AGs office was made from a landline in the office of an executive from the legal team of BHEL. Sources said the police team spent about three hours in the building and spoke to the woman and her colleagues. They claimed the police took the statement of the woman. None of the senior Delhi Police officers was available for comment. Till late Tuesday night,the police had not registered any FIR in connection with the case. The woman,who has been accused of making the call,denied her role in the controversy. Talking to The Indian Express from her office intercom,she claimed to be clueless and said she did not know what was going on. I will have to talk to my seniors as I cannot speak to the press directly. I will get back to you, she said.
