New Delhi: A day after CBI searched the office of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, he issued an official statement terming the whole exercise to be an act of malice.
The statement detailed the CBI raid where they allegedly gave a handwritten note to the Secretary to seize a computer from the conference room.
He said, “CBI is trying to maliciously frame me, seized a computer without providing Hash Value.”
A hash value is a unique numeric identity attached to any data which can be used as digital signatures.
The official statement added that “As they reached the conference room, they saw a computer installed therein, asked my PS to switch it on, assessed the same, and, forthwith, handed over a Notice under Section 91 CrPc to the Secretary, Dy. CM (GNCTD) with reference to the investigation of RC0032022A0053″.
The statement further reads that as per the Notice, the Secretary was requested to produce the CPU of the system installed in my conference room.
The statement added, “Thereafter, the CPU from the conference room of my office was seized without following the due procedure laid down. From the perusal of the said notice, it was perceived that the notice was hand-written to the Secretary, and immediately the property (CPU) was seized which shows the mala-fide of the Officer,”.
The statement added “CBI Manual also mandates that at the time of the seizure of electronic document itself- an image of the same shall also be created and the said image shall also be hashed and tally with the hashing of the seized data to ensure data integrity.”
He said that in the absence of recording “HASH VALUE” during the seizure, the CBI can change the record in the seized CPU at its convenience.
According to the statement, “It appears that there is a scope for implanting, deleting and editing the record in the seized CPU by the team of CBI for making a frivolous case against me. In the absence of recording “HASH VALUE” during the seizure, the CBI can change the record in the seized CPU as per its convenience to maliciously frame me.”
He further alleged in the statement that, “I have clear apprehension that CBI has seized the CPU to destroy the confidential files/documents stored therein and will implant/edit files in the CPU and use the same to falsely implicate me as my name is not in the CBI chargesheet.”
