While filing the final report, the ED informed the judge that the statement of Rajiv Saxena, another middleman who recently turned approver in the case, and certain diaries were submitted before the court in a sealed cover.
"Those diaries have classified information and it would not be in the interest of justice that the diaries be shared with the other side," ED's special public prosecutors D P Singh and N K Matta told the court.

The charge sheet also consists information regarding different e-mail ids that were being used, besides several hard discs, agency's advocate Samvedna Verma told the court.
