CBI to submit status report on 2G spectrum scam

CBI to submit status report on 2G spectrum scamToday is the final day of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to submit its status report to the Supreme Court on its investigations into the 2G spectrum scam. In the previous hearing the upper court had told the agency that it shouldn't be influenced by Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal's statement. Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal has rubbished the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report's calculation of the estimated loss from the sale of 2G spectrum. The investigation was done by the upper court.

At present, the CBI is asking questions to former Telecom Minister A Raja. He was arrested eight days ago. He was suspected as the mastermind of this whole scam. CBI’s custody of Raja ends today.

But according to the sources, it is expected that he will be interrogated more, so that some more clues can be found out. Shahid Balwa has been the other suspect of this scam.

Balwa was the promoter of DB Realty. On Tuesday he was arrested from his house in Mumbai pertaining to the scam. The CBI is quite confident that the further interrogation will be very much effective and provide some more clues to solve the whole case.
