‘Why have you not grilled Raja?’
Nov. 25: The Supreme Court on Thursday questioned the CBI on why it had not so far interrogated former telecom minister A. Raja in the 2G spectrum scam case even as the CAG report was replete with his repeated actions bending the policy on allotment of spectrum licences.
Brushing aside the CBI objection that the court should not hear detailed arguments based on CAG report, a bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and A.K. Ganguly further asked why the former telecom secretary, who held the office at the relevant time was also not questioned.
Expressing surprise that Mr Raja changed the ‘first-come-first serve’ policy at the last moment adding the pre-condition “LoI for whoever produced `1,600 cr bank draft” on January 10, 2008, the bench pointedly asked the CBI, “Have these gentlemen been examined?”
