Former police chief, Param Bir Singh, who is under the scanner in connection with the Antilia bomb scare case and murder of businessman Mansukh Hiran, is suspected to have been hiding behind a FaceTime ID, which has his first name as Kurkure and last name as Balaji. During the investigation, NIA got the FaceTime ID connected to the Google account which was used to communicate the murder of Hiran, a fallout of the Antilia case.
The 10,000-pages charge sheet has various details including the response received from Apple, the American multinational, about the suspected Facetime ID, which corroborates the statement of one of the intelligence officers closely associated with Singh since 2006. The first and last name of the Facetime ID is same as what Apple has shared with NIA and what the intelligence officer has said in his statement to the agency.
