Rashmi-Shukla

Mumbai: In a dramatic turn of events, a top Maharashtra government official's report on Thursday said that then State Intelligence Department Commissioner Rashmi Shukla had "misused" official permission granted to her for phone-tapping under the Indian Telegraph Act, and hence is liable to face action.

The report by Chief Secretary Sitaram J. Kunte, submitted to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray this evening, has pointed an accusing finger at the woman IPS officer, holding that she overstepped her brief in the matter of the phone-tapping controversy that erupted earlier this week.
