It allegedly contained a conversation between Shanti Bhushan, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and now expelled party leader Amar Singh.<\/p>\n<p>Prashant Bhushan said Sunday that the CD was doctored to derail the civil society movement against graft and the proceedings in two important Supreme Court cases.<\/p>\n<p>Amar Singh threatened to launch a defamation suit against the Bhushans, and also file a contempt of court petition.<\/p>\n<p>Singh said Prashant Bhushan should not have played an earlier CD which was the subject of a court case. Bhushan had claimed that the latest CD had entire conversations cut and spliced together from the previous audio disc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In spite of that (being sub-judice and dispute of authenticity), excerpts were read by Prashant Bhushan from CD (at press conference).
