In 2011, Amar Singh was accused of fixing deals with several politicians, businessmen and bureaucrats on the phone. Taped phone conversations were made public by media organisations in 2011. Singh, however, denied the allegations, saying the voice in the tapes was not his. (PTI Photo/Shahbaz Khan)(PTI03-08-2020_000019B)
