Jaiswal has held the top post in Mumbai Police. He was Maharashtra’s police chief before being called on central deputation later this year.
“CBI director Subodh Kumar Jaiswal has been summoned by Cyber Cell of Mumbai Police in connection with leak of Maharashtra Intelligence Department data on police transfer-posting,” Mumbai police said in a statement.
“The summon has been sent via an e-mail, asking him to appear before it on October 14,” it added.
According to media reports ” The case relates to the `leak’ of a report prepared by IPS officer Rashmi Shukla about alleged corruption in police transfers in Maharashtra when she headed the state intelligence department. Jaiswal was the director general of police during this period.
It was alleged that phones of senior politicians and officials were tapped illegally during the inquiry and the report was leaked deliberately, but the FIR registered in this regard by the cyber cell does not name Shukla or any other official.”
