"Why is she giving all this information?" asks an I-T official. "She accuses us of leaks to the press and at the same time she is busy offering information to the media." Some say she's scared that her daughter might be implicated in some of Jadeja's match-fixing transactions. Also, it is learnt that Aditi was in the know of Jadeja's advertising contracts. "It makes political sense to volunteer the obvious and then claim that you were always levelling with the press," says one official. Some others believe that Jaitly panicked because top-secret defence ministry files were lying at her residence when the taxmen came calling. But the finance ministry doesn't buy this. "Why should defence ministry files be at her residence and that too at a time when the defence minister was in Sierra Leone," asks a finance ministry official. In fact, the buzz in the finance ministry is that Jaitly called Fernandes in Sierra Leone, who in turn called a 'top finance ministry official' to call off the raid. Whatever the reason, Jaitly's reaction is difficult to explain. Sports minister S.S Dhindsa says that she's being unduly emotional. But why is she defending her daughter's employer so hysterically? Unless, of course, the rumours are right and there is more to Aditi's involvement in the firm's dealings than that of an ordinary employee. Unfortunately, despite repeated phone calls, Jaitly was not available for any comment.
