in possession of

Minutes after CNN-IBN telecast the statements of Surinder Singh, a Sikh priest who claims to have witnessed Congress leader Jagdish Tytler inciting a mob during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, Tytler rubbished the statements.

In an exclusive chat with CNN-IBN Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai, Tytler said he had proof to negate Surinder Singh’s statements.

Tytler claimed he was in possession of Doordarshan CDs that reportedly showed him near Indira Gandhi’s dead body through the hours riots took place.

Please explain to me the meaning of "in possession of:" in this context..
