Shah, is currently BJP national general secretary, who is being credited with the party's phenomenal success in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
The alleged taped conversation between Shah and Singhal was aired by news portals Cobrapost and Gulail which purportedly featured the former minister instructing the IPS officer to closely monitor the movements of the woman.
“I have been reinstated (in service) as the commandant of SRP group 12 at Gandhinagar,” Singhal told PTI, adding he will work “aggressively”.
Singhal was suspended by the Narendra Modi government after his arrest in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case.
Following his arrest and suspension, Singhal had resigned fron service, alleging the state government had failed to protect him. However, his resignation was not accepted on technical grounds.
In July last year, CBI had charge-sheeted Singhal, three other IPS officers and others of lower ranks in connection with the alleged staged encounter of Ishrat and three others in 2004.
