A Raja, former Telecom Minister and key accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case, was today allowed by a Delhi court to visit Tamil Nadu for three days.

Special CBI Judge O P Saini allowed the plea of the DMK MP to visit Tamil Nadu after CBI prosecutor did not object to it. "Accused Raja had filed an application seeking permission to visit Tamil Nadu from today evening to Monday (August 20) night.

Senior PP (of the CBI) has no objection to the prayer. Since the matter has already been listed on August 21, prayer is allowed," the judge said. Raja, along with others, including DMK MP Kanimozhi, has been facing trial in the case for the offences of cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy and corruption besides criminal breach of trust that entails a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
