Supreme Court questions CBI over 2G spectrum scam

New Delhi, Nov.25 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Thursday questioned the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as why it has not questioned the former Telecom Minister A. Raja and his secretary in connection with the 2G spectrum scam.

"The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report is replete with remarks about direct involvement of A. Raja in the irregularities," observed the Supreme Court bench.

The apex court made the comment during the hearing of the telecom scam.

A report tabled in the parliament recently held A. Raja responsible for causing losses estimated at rupees 1.76 trillion to the exchequer in the 2G telecom spectrum allotments by favouring some operators and not resorting to auction. (ANI)
