Bengaluru, Feb 12 (PTI): Four unidentified policemen have been booked for allegedly providing Call Detail Records of four people to a woman who had allegedly duped a jeweler claiming she was the sister of former Congress MP D K Suresh.
According to police, the accused had given illegal access to the CDRs of four people to Aishwarya Gowda, who has been booked by the Chandra Layout Police in the city.
During investigation, police found the CDRs of four people in her phone. The CDRs can be obtained only after getting due permission, but these four policemen got it illegally and supplied it to Gowda.
The woman had allegedly used these data to extort money from four people.

Justice Swarana K Sharma starts contempt case against Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia over excise posts
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi High Court judge Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Thursday initiated criminal contempt proceedings against AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Durgesh Pathak, Sanjay Singh, Saurabh Bhardwaj and others over their "vilifying" social media posts against her in relation to the excise policy case.
Justice Sharma said the former Delhi chief minister "orchestrated a calculated campaign" of vilification against her on social media instead of pursuing his legal remedies and clarified that the CBI's petition against the discharge of all accused persons would now be taken up by another bench.
The judge took exception to several social media posts by the proposed contemnors that attributed "political allegiance" to her and allegedly targeted her by posting a misleading "edited" video of a speech given by her at an educational institution in Varanasi.
"Arvind Kejriwal sought to destroy my reputation instead of availing legal remedies after I refused to recuse and a deliberate attempt to lower the court's authority can't be permitted in guise of free speech," Justice Sharma said.
She clarified that she was not recusing herself but was only transferring the case to another bench as she has initiated the contempt proceedings.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for CBI, thanked Justice Sharma for upholding the institution's dignity.
