Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil on Monday said the recording of statement of BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis by Mumbai police in a case of alleged illegal tapping of phones was a "routine" exercise.

But, former state chief minister Fadnavis claimed questions that the police asked him on Sunday were "meant for an accused". A team of the BKC cyber police in Mumbai recorded Fadnavis' statement for almost two hours on Sunday at his residence.
