Requesting not to be named, the security guard said, “Niranjan Sethi used to come here (Sky Tower) twice or thrice a week. And madam (Sarmistha) had clearly instructed me to not make any entry in the visitor’s log book regarding Sethi’s visit. I had once recorded his entry. But after that, madam instructed me to not repeat the mistake. She identified Sethi as the Chairman of her organisation and told me to allow him to enter the society without signing the register,” the guard added.
