Mahua Moitra's ex alleges snooping by her; Mahua urges govt to appoint CBI officers for jilted lovers

Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai, who filed the 'cash-for-questions' complaint against Mahua Moitra resulting in her expulsion from Lok Sabha, has accused her of conducting "illegal surveillance on her ex-boyfriend" with the assistance of senior police officers in West Bengal, a TOI report stated.

Dehadrai has lodged a complaint with the CBI and the home ministry, claiming that Moitra had obtained call detail records (CDR) of her ex-boyfriend without authorization. He alleges that she suspected her ex-boyfriend of having an affair with a senior functionary of a social media giant from Germany.

"I was shocked to discover that Moitra, with the help of senior Bengal police officers, had access to the complete CDR history of her ex-boyfriend. She possessed precise information about the individuals who had been in contact with him, as well as the exact location of his phone throughout the day," Dehadrai stated in his complaint. He attached screenshots of chats and a purported CDR list as evidence.


Responding to the allegations and the demand for a CBI investigation, Moitra stated, "I urge the Ministry of Home Affairs to appoint a special director of the CBI to investigate complaints made by jilted exes across India. It is interesting to see that the self-proclaimed protector of privacy is included in the complaint. He has honed his surveillance skills while covering up for his leader in Gujarat. I am confident he can get to the bottom of this as well. Good luck."

Dehadrai, who was previously in a relationship with Moitra, mentioned in his complaint that when he questioned her actions and expressed disapproval, she justified herself by claiming certain rights as a Member of Parliament, including the ability to keep tabs on whoever she chooses. The lawyer alleges that Moitra stated that certain IPS officials in the Bengal police were obligated to fulfill her requests and could not refuse her.

Dehadrai also expressed concerns about his safety, stating that he has strong reasons to believe that Moitra is using her connections with senior officers of the Bengal police to conduct illegal surveillance on him.
