State intelligence department commissioner and additional police commissioner (special branch) will be part of this three-member panel. During the two-day monsoon session of the state legislature held earlier this week, Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil had made the announcement about setting up a high-level inquiry while speaking in the Legislative Assembly. Patole has claimed that his phone was tapped during 2016-17 when he was a Member of Parliament (MP) and when the state government was headed by Devendra Fadnavis. He said his phone was tapped on the pretext that it belonged to drug-peddler Amjad Khan. The government order issued on Friday evening said the committee would probe the case and submit its report to the legislature in three months.
