A barrage of requests by security agencies to a leading telecom company for telephone tapping led it to say a polite no even to the country’s premier external intelligence agency RAW.
The request by Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) to Bharti Airtel for lawful interception of some telephone numbers came even as the telecom company was flooded with similar pleas by several agencies.
A letter from Arun K Sinha, a joint secretary-rank officer in RAW, complained to the Department of Telecom about the “unacceptable” approach of the telecom service provider of not following the instruction with regard to interception of some telephone numbers.
