Mahua Moitra's ex alleges snooping by her; Mahua urges govt to appoint CBI officers for jilted lovers

The individual who previously filed a complaint regarding the 'cash for questions' scandal, which led to the expulsion from Lok Sabha, has accused the subject of said complaint of illicit surveillance, per a TOI report. This allegation accuses her of undertaking the surveillance with help from senior West Bengal police officials. The accuser, Dehadrai, lodged a complaint with both the appropriate criminal body and the home ministry, stating that Moitra accessed call detail records (CDR) of a former boyfriend without legal permission. Dehadrai asserts that Moitra suspected her ex of infidelity with an executive from a major German social media platform.

In his complaint, Dehadrai stated, "I was shocked to find out that Moitra, in collaboration with high-ranking Bengal police officers, had complete access to the CDR history of her ex-boyfriend. She was privy to specific information about his contacts, as well as his phone's precise location throughout the day." As proof, he furnished screenshots of conversations and an alleged CDR list.

Moitra's response to the allegations and the call for a CBI investigation was, "I invite the Home Affairs Ministry to appoint a special CBI director to examine complaints from hurt exes nationwide. I find it intriguing that the self-professed privacy defender has included himself in the complaint. He has perfected his surveillance skills while concealing his leader's activities in Gujarat. I am confident he can get to the bottom of this too. Good luck."

Dehadrai, who once dated Moitra, disclosed in his complaint that when he confronted her about her actions and expressed disagreement, she shrugged it off, maintaining that her position as a Member of Parliament granted her the right to monitor whoever she wished. He also claimed that Moitra stated certain IPS officials in Bengal's police force were bound to comply with her demands and could not reject her. Dehadrai revealed fears for his personal safety, expressing strong suspicion that Moitra may be employing her connections with senior Bengal police officers to unlawfully spy on him.
