Summary: Radia is talking to a Jeh, whose identity is still not established. But apparently this conversation which is intriguing as she again expresses doubts about Brazilians contacting “them”(presumably Tatas) directly. In the Income Tax secret documents following the taping of her phones, it is mentioned that Radia herself seems to be in process of showing interest in acquiring mines in Brazil as well as in some African countries. This and a couple of other conversations with Jeh may be related to it. However, if Muthuraman, who is a senior Director of Tata Sons who is mentioned here is acting on behalf of Tatas or on his private behalf is unclear.

Radia: and he said you know Niira once you introduced someone to us why will we bypass you…you know.

Jeh: no they will not.. they will not
Radia: ya.. so then may be if you could…
Radia: if you could ensure that the Brazilians tell them that you know we are already in touch with Jeh

Radia: So I am waiting for him get back. He will call me in the night I am sure you know once he is out of the meetings and all that,
Radia: but I think if you can just ensure that nobody from Brazil speaks to them,
Radia: then there shouldn't be any problem.
Jeh: ok
Radia: Look I'm pretty confident that they will not bypass it because its recommendations. I have taken it at a pretty wary of bypassing that
Jeh: ya
Radia: I don't think they will do this.
