The accused has been identified as Sanjay Singh Naruka(32), resident of Malakhera towm in Alwar district. A complaint was lodged by a victim, identified as Hukma Singh Kashyap, on August 23, that Naruka had shown him screenshot­s of calls from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, various central cabinet ministers, MPs, high court judges, governors and chief ministers of four states and other senior bureaucrat­s, police said.

“Naruka took ~40 lakh from Kashyap and assured him a seat in Rajya Sabha. He also took ~61 lakh form his (Kashyap’s) friend Ramvinod alias Happu Rajput, promising him appointmen­t on chairman’s post in RPSC and his brother on the post of grade-II principal,” said Karuli superinten­dent of police Ajay Singh.
