that hard discs of computers have been tampered with. Computer expert of MPPEB Prashant Dube has
deposited the original excel sheet and documents in high court in March 2013. Months before this, he
had given details to Narendra Modi and Madhya Pradesh minister Kailash Vijayvargiya. As no action was
taken, he approached court. This whistleblower has complained about risk to his life.
The original excel sheet presented in Delhi court shows that name of Shivraj Singh Chouhan appeared

the hard disc had been tampered with. Later the hard disc was sent to a laboratory in Gujarat, which
has prepared a ‘favoured’ report in the Ishrat Jahan case. The real objective of the state administration
is to destroy any evidence which may tend to incriminate the chief minister, his wife, former RSS chief,
and several other RSS men. It has been found during the probe that 350 telephone calls were made
from the Chief Minister’s residence. In 200 cases, recommendations came from ministers. The PA to a
minister was reported to have admitted to receiving Rs 85 lakh as bribe. It has also been found that
former RSS chief Sudarshan had recommended the name of his personal assistant to the post of food
inspector.
Anand Rai, who filed an FIR leading to the investigation in the scam, received threat calls. He also
claimed that ‘contract killers’ were hired to murder him. Ashish Chaturvedi, a Gwalior–based social
activist, lodged complaint against eight persons including Gulab Singh Kirar’s son Shakti Singh. Kirar is a
relative of the chief minister. Chaturvedi has also petitioned before CBI seeking a probe into admissions
of 5,000 students in MBBS and PG courses in 2003–13 in the state. He suffered three attacks on his life,
including an abduction bid. Prashant Pandey, a former IT consultant hired by the Special Task Force
