why the secrecy - MTNL and starcom?
So that you dont get sued for slander or whatever a false accusation is called in legalese.
it is called defamation - and in case you are interested, even a true accusation can be defamatory. And a false accusation may not be defamatory. It is the motivation for the accusation that is important. In this case, the accusation - true or false - is made in public interest after a reasonable attempt at verification, so it is not defamatory.
