There's no telling how deep the rot goes in the Call Detail Record (CDR) racket. The Union Home Ministry is so concerned, that for the first time, it has given the Thane police a list of cops with CDR access who may have leaked private information. The CDR racket has already thrown up names of celebrities such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, as well as several politicians, who allegedly got illegal access to citizens' phone records to spy on them. The Thane police found that this confidential information was leaked from the police, who get access to CDR for their investigations. The cops have already arrested one constable from Yavatmal for his involvement in the scam. However, it's not just junior cops who are involved in the racket.
