A micro-cassette seized by the SIT gives vivid details of the conversation between Telgi and Krishna Yadav as they negotiate the price for the freedom of the scamsters's men.

Neither Telgi nor Yadav have admitted to this deal, the SIT said in the charge sheet, a copy of which is with PTI.
 
The SIT charge sheet says the TDP legislator provided protection to Telgi's illegal business till 1998 and the abduction took place after Telgi and Yadav fell apart following a monetary dispute.

The SIT started zeroing in on Krishna Yadav after it seized the micro cassette from Telgi's house at 3rd Pasta Lane, Colaba, in Mumbai in January 2003.

In the taped conversation, Yadav demands Rs 5 crore to release Telgi's men -- Abdul Wahid and Sadashiva.

Telgi ultimately succeeded in getting his men released for Rs 5 lakh.

When Yadav did not cooperate with the SIT, he was subjected to a lie detector test and later to P-300 brain fingerprinting test, the charge sheet says.
     
The SIT also sent the micro cassette and a voice sample of Yadav to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory,
New Delhi, for voice analysis.

"The specimen voice of C B Krishna Yadav is similar to the voice in the micro cassette in respect of their linguistic and phonetic features, intonation pattern, general visual features in voice grams etc," SIT said quoting the laboratory report.
