Radia tapes, conspiracy gainst India
New Delhi, Dec. 10: The multiple agencies investigating the politically sensitive 2G spectrum scam case have formed a “prima facie” view that the conversation of corporate lobbyist, Ms Niira Radia, with various persons as recorded by the income-tax department amounted to “criminal conspiracy” against the nation.
This was stated in an affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court by the government on Friday.
The affidavit filed by additional director, income-tax (investigation), in reply to the Mr Ratan Tata’s petition seeking probe into the “leak” of “Radia tapes” to media, has referred to the correspondence between DG IT and the heads of Intelligence Bureau, Central Bureau of Investigation and Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to draw such conclusions. The affidavit also stated that the interception of the phones was done with authorisation from the home secretary.
