What are call records and IPDR?
Call records and IPDRs play an important role in monitoring a person’s digital activity. The call record shows when, when, whom and how long a person interacted. At the same time, it is available through IPDR, which websites and applications were used from mobile phones. How much and when the Internet was used and whether any VPN was used. Although the IPDR does not contain end-to-end encrypted data, which shows that Google or WhatsApp was used, but what was searched or chatted there cannot be known.
Investigation agencies can find out on the basis of IPDR records that Justice Verma used which websites and online services in the last six months. Apart from this, it can also be checked whether they had contact with any suspicious number.
