The desire to see his daughter working at the BSES prompted a former Supreme Court staffer to allegedly post wrong information related to a case involving Reliance Communications Chairman Anil Ambani on the apex court’s website, a senior police official said. Tapan Kumar Chakraborty and his associate Manav Sharma, who worked as court masters, had allegedly uploaded an order on the Supreme Court’s website that said Ambani’s presence in a case was dispensed with, despite the court ordering that he be present for the next hearing.
Chakraborty and Sharma were arrested in April. During interrogation, police found out that Chakraborty, who was nearing retirement, wanted to get his 23-year-old daughter placed in the BSES power discom, the official said. He was due to retire next year and when someone assured him that his daughter would get a job in the BSES, Chakraborty agreed to tamper with the information, he added.
