Probe committee seeks software to restore CCTV footage of Finance Ministry

The parliamentary special committee formed to investigate allegations of budget tampering against former finance minister Janardan Sharma has sought software to restore closed-circuit TV (CCTV) footage after the Finance Ministry did not provide footage.

"The technicians at the ministry did not answer anything apart from saying they don't have capacity. We have sought software after they did not provide answers," a lawmaker in the probe committee told Setopati. "They have said that they don't have capacity to keep footage for more than 12-15 days. We will see if they have deleted the footage or refused to provide."
