A team of a senior IAS and IPS officers each has been readied to probe the alleged phone-tapping of Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP leaders during the 2019 Assembly polls.

The probe will try to find out the officers and political leaders who were allegedly involved in the act within six weeks, said Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. Devendra Fadnavis, the then CM, headed the home department, which the leaders (whose phones were 'tapped') have accused of issuing orders to derive political advantage.
