A Raja MISLED Manmohan Singh on 2G allocation: CBI tells SC

April 15, 2015 11:01

In what will come as a much-needed relief for former PM Dr Manmohan Singh, the CBI has told a Special Court that ex-telecom minister A Raja had "misled" Manmohan Singh on policy matters pertaining to 2G spectrum allocation. The CBI told the court that Raja had deliberately advanced the cut off date to favour accused firms in 2G allocation.

The former PM last month had moved the Supreme Court against a special court order summoning him as accused in the case of allocation of Talabira-II coal block in Odisha in 2005 to Aditya Birla group company Hindalco.

Hindalco Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla and former Coal Secretary PC Parakh, who were also summoned as accused in the case, have also filed petitions challenging the trial court order.
