Sources said this Noida-based man, whose identity has not been disclosed yet, had introduced himself to Dabas as a party worker and had assured help in securing possession of a property in Uttarakhand he (Dabas) had recently purchased.
The same person had reportedly given Jaitley's mobile number to Dabas. Investigators, however, are tight-lipped and are terming the entire issue a freelance effort of the arrested detectives, with no political involvement.
Dabas and three private detectives were arrested one after the other for allegedly procuring Jaitley's call records.
