Gautam Kumar Dak says audio doctored
According to the FIR, Dak asked the SHO about the two constables, publicly abused them, and threatened one over a previous transfer order.
Dak has denied his connection with the audio in a video statement, saying the audio was "doctored" and claiming he's being framed because of his crackdown on illegal mining.
