The CBI has filed a chargesheet against Mr Manoj Modi, a top lieutenant of RIL chairman, Mr Mukesh Ambani, and five others in a case relating to masking of international calls as local, causing huge revenue loss to the government.
The chargesheet was filed in a local court in Chennai, four years after CBI took up investigation and five years after Reliance Infoco-mm paid Rs 150 crore towards penalty imposed by telecom tribunal TDSAT, a source said on Friday.
Besides Mr Modi, CBI named Akhil Gupta, Shankar Adawal, Pankaj Panwar, K.R. Raju and Bhagwan Das Khurana of Reliance Infocomm Ltd in the chargesheet.
Incidentally, the company, minus any of these officials, is now controlled by Mr Mukesh Ambani’s younger brother Anil who got it as part of the division of the Reliance empire and it has since been renamed as Reliance Communi-cations. — PTI
