The tapes were sealed in the premises of the Commission and Mr. Justice Phukhan told the Solicitor-General, Kirit Raval, that the Centre should ensure that the tapes were carried securely and not subjected to security checks. Mr. Raval said the Government would try to send the tapes through the diplomatic bag and also release funds immediately to the foreign agency for it to start the job. In its response, the Centre suggested the names of certain agencies in the U.S. and the U.K. based on the information received from them who could conduct forensic examination of the videotapes. In her petition, the former president of the Samata Party, Jaya Jaitly, suggested that the examination be conducted either by the Scotland Yard of the United Kingdom or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S., who would be able to recommend a suitable expert to whom the tapes might be sent directly. Today, the Commission after sealing the 16 tapes said it would pass a detailed order tomorrow indicating the scope of the analysis, how the tapes should be handled while transportation, etc. The Commission, however, said it would agree with Ms. Jaitly that the identity of the expert should be kept secret to avoid third party influence or undue pressure.
