Indira had asked IB to keep a tab on the then home minister Gyani Jail Singh. On Indira ‘s instructions, Gyani Jail Singh's conversation with Khalistani militant Bhindarwale was recorded and handed over to her.
Not only this, Indira had asked IB to keep a vigil on her own daughter-in-law Maneka Gandhi. IB snooped on all friends of Maneka and tapped their phones. Even her mother was under close watch of IB. The editorial board of the magazine that was run by Maneka was also closely monitored by IB.
The book further reveals that Rajiv Gandhi went a step further and ordered snooping on Gyani Jail Singh, the then President of India. Somehow Gyani Jail Singh got to know of the snooping and he stooped meeting people inside Rashtrapati Bhawan rooms. He used to meet people in the garden only.
