HCL denies charges of destroying data of News of the World
HCL Technologies denied the allegations that the emails belonging to its client News International were destroyed at its Chennai office. News Corp is at the centre of controversy following the phone-hacking scandals, which resulted in the company deciding to shut down its tabloid, 'News of the World'.
According to the Labour backbencher, News Corp made the attempt to destroy the data in an attempt to cover-up the phone hacking scandal.
"I believe that the police should ask James Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks whether they know of the attempted destruction of data at the HCL storage facility in Chennai, India," Labour Party member Tom Watson said.
Refusing the allegation, HCL said, "The Company does not store any of its customers' data locally and said that such reports are misleading. In light of some regrettable comments made over the last few days, we categorically confirm that the company does not and has not stored any data either in the UK or anywhere else in the world."
