Vora’s email to Rajan on Dey eludes police
Service provider Google refuses to give information on her accounts citing US laws
Mumbai Crime Branch is finding it difficult to retrieve the details of Jigna Vora’s email accounts as Google has denied providing information of her account on the grounds of US law. The crime branch has been claiming that Vora had sent the bike registration number, home address and office address of senior journalist J Dey to underworld don Chota Rajan.
The cyber cell of crime branch had asked Google to provide the inbox, outbox and trash details of Vora’s two email accounts, notforalldear@gmail.com and jignavora21@gmail.com. On December 30, cyber cell officers were informed by Google that they cannot get the details of Vora’s email account under the US law’s Electronic Communication Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2702 (A) as construed by the US Circuit Court Of Appeals.
Google also told the police that in case a request is issued from a non-US government, it should be made in accordance with the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) or the letters rogatory process.
The cyber cell was told that if they want to use the diplomatic procedure to secure the content information of the accounts and they want Google to preserve the content, then they can do that for 90 days. Later, it may be extended for 90 more days on a written request so as to give the police more time to complete their formal legal procedure.
The supplementary charge sheet filed by the police in the case showing the role of Vora as an instigator did not have the details of her emails which she sent to Rajan. Till now police have not retrieved the email to show that Vora sent the details of Dey to Rajan.
“The process is on and we hope to get the details of her gmail accounts soon. Google, because of the US law, was not able to provide us all the information but we will get it through legal ways,” said a senior crime branch officer.
According to cyber experts, if the police are not able to get the information from Google, then there is no way that they can get
information about the accounts. “Police can get the details they want about some account. But if Google is not able to provide them, there is no way to retrieve any data of an account,” said Vijay Mukhi, cyber expert.
The police are also waiting for the forensic report to get the data which Vora deleted from her mobile phones and laptop. Vora’s email to Rajan is one of the most important evidence police will have to show to prove her role in the conspiracy. Rajan had claimed that he got Dey’s details from Vora through email.
