The trial court, in its order cancelling Kumar's bail, had also observed that the accused had admitted that he and his counsel Bharti had contacted the witness over phone and had conversation with him in respect to the present case.
Kumar had moved an application seeking court's permission to place on record the audio recording of the conversation while the CBI had filed a plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Kumar on the ground that he had tried to tamper with the evidence.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today clarified: "Somnath Bharti was trying to save a junior level officer and the sting operation that has been done is being called tampering of evidence by the judges."
"We are ready to give the recording and then you can see and tell where has the tampering been done. I have told Somnath that the recording be played in the media," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal said: "We need to understand the entire case. This is almost a Rs.100 crore corruption case. It was a a fraud within the bank."
"Whenever anybody exports anything, a letter of credit is received against the consignment. False letters Of credit were raised and senior bank officials were involved," added Kejriwal.
He also pointed out that the CBI made a junior level desk officer Pawan Kumar a scapegoat and arrested him.
"Everybody was talking in the bank and openly accepting that they had put him (Pawan Kumar) in the trap. Pawan Kumar did a sting operation and called all senior officers," Kejriwal said.
"Whatever, they were saying was recorded, there was no tampering of the evidence instead court was being given more evidence," he said.
