2G scam update: Raja and colleagues to be produced in Court

Undoubtedly Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is in haste to unveil the guilty of 2G scam as just a day after the arrest of former telecom minister, A Raja, he and his aides will be produced in the Court today on Thursday without wasting any time.

After being questioned twice in this week, DMK leader was arrested on Wednesday after CBI questioned him for hours in connection with the 2G scam. Along with him, CBI also arrested his aides RK Chandolia and Siddharth Behuria.

As per report of the sources, Raja and his aides- former telecom secretary Siddartha Behura and Raja’s personal secretary R.K. Chandolia will appear at the Patiala House Court for the hearing.

The trio have been booked under sections 120B, 13(2), 13(1D) of Prevention of Corruption Act on the charges of criminal misconduct, violation of policies and favouring some specific companies during the grant of 2G spectrum licences.

The apes Court also asked CBI and Enforcement Directorate to submit status reports on their investigations into the 2G spectrum case to it by February 10 when the case will come up for further hearing.

More arrests are likely in the case with sources saying that former Telecom Regulatory Authority of India chairman Pradeep Baijal and Raja’s brother AK Perumal are also under CBI’s radar.

While speaking to media, BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar termed Mr. Raja’s arrest as “too little, too late,” and asked the government to go after the “money trail.”
