Two days after Mohindra’s arrest in 2013, a policeman showed up at the office of Prashant Pandey, a cyber-security expert with pointed sideburns, bouffant hair, a handlebar moustache and a taste for fitted waistcoats.
2013年莫欣德拉被捕两天后，一名警察出现在普拉香特·潘迪(Prashant Pandey)的办公室，他留着尖尖的胡须，头发蓬松，留着把手胡子，喜欢合身的马甲。
Pandey is the proprietor of a firm called Techn07.
潘迪经营着一家名为Techn07的公司。
In a detailed resume he sent me after our first meeting, Pandey claimed to have helped the Madhya Pradesh police crack cases involving Islamist terrorists, tax evaders, kidnappings, and political murders -- along with the Vyapam investigation.
在接受我的采访后他交给我一份详细的个人简历，在其中，潘迪声称曾经帮助中央邦破获众多案件，涉及恐怖事件、偷税漏税、绑架勒索和政治谋杀，当然还有Vyapam作弊案。
(The head of the Vyapam taskforce did not respond to multiple requests for comment, but state officials and police officers confirmed that Pandey had done work for the Indian Revenue Service and the Vyapam taskforce.)
（Vyapam专案组的负责人对于记者的多次询问没有做出任何评论，但邦官员和警察均证实潘迪曾协助印度税务局和Vyapam专案组的工作。）
“The policeman said his seniors had seized a hard drive from a suspect, but the local police station did not have a SATA cable to connect it to their desktop,” Pandey recalled when we met in his lawyer’s office in Delhi.
“那名警察告诉我，他的上级从嫌犯那里获得了一个硬盘，但当地警察的电脑没有硬盘线，”潘迪在他的律师的德里办公室和我见面时说，
“I gave him a cable, but the policeman wanted to make sure the connector was working and so he plugged it into one of my computers.”
“我给了他一根硬盘线，但警察想要确保它可以正常工作，于是将它插进了我的电脑。”
Pandey said that once he connected the drive, his computer automatically began to make a mirror image.
潘迪说连接硬盘后他的电脑开始自动生成镜像。
The policeman had a cup of tea and left.
警察喝了一杯茶就离开了。
Two months later, Pandey said, the Vyapam taskforce paid him to install hidden cameras in their interrogation cells in Bhopal.
潘迪说，两个月后，Vyapam专案组又请他给他们的博帕尔审讯室安装隐藏摄像头。
(Pandey showed me a bill, dated March 2014, for a “bullet camera”, a Sony voice recorder, and various accessories, along with copies of cheques from the state finance ministry, to prove he had worked for the government in the past.)
（潘迪还向我出示了一张“子弹摄像头”、索尼录音机和其他配件的账单，还有一份邦财政部的支票复印件，以此证明他曾为政府工作。）
Pandey said that he had worked for the Vyapam taskforce for more than six months -- until the relationship soured in June 2014, when the Congress party released phone records alleging that Sadhna Singh, the wife of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, had made 139 calls from the chief minister’s residence to the ringleaders of the scam, Nitin Mohindra and Pankaj Trivedi.
潘迪说，他曾为V yapam专案组工作6个月，直到2014年关系恶化。当时，国大党公布了一份电话记录，指控乔汗的妻子萨德娜（Sadhna）曾从首席部长的官邸给作弊案头目莫因德拉和特里维迪打了139个电话。
(The chief minister dismissed the allegations as a fabrication, and the matter was never investigated by the police.)
（首席部长反驳这一指控纯属捏造，警方从未对此展开正式调查。）
The police arrested Pandey, and jailed him on charges of trying to sell confidential phone records.
不久，警方逮捕了潘迪，指控他试图出售秘密电话记录。
His computers were seized, he said, and he was interrogated for three days.
他的电脑被收缴。他被接连审讯了3天。
“All they asked me was, ‘What do you know about the chief minister and Vyapam.’”
“他们翻来覆去只有一个问题，‘对于首席部长和Vyapam你知道些什么。’”
He was released on bail, but claims he was picked up again in the middle of the night, and taken to a safe house for further interrogation.
他一度获得保释，但不久又在半夜被抓，并被送入一处安全屋接受再次询问。
“They said, you give anyone any more information and you are finished,” he told me.
“他们威胁说，如果胆敢向任何人泄露任何信息你就完蛋了。”
