The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has informed Special CBI Judge O.P. Saini that the documents submitted by one operator to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) pertaining to spectrum allocation, on the basis of which their (telecom firm’s) priority was to be determined were missing, according to news reports.
The CBI made the submission in its reply opposing the bail plea of former telecom secretary, Siddhartha Behura, who was arrested with A. Raja, former Minister of Telecommunications and IT, for his alleged role in the 2G spectrum allocation issue.
Detailing Behura?s alleged role in the 2G issue, the CBI said Raja and Behura had misused their official position as public servants and approved the file relating to verification of eligibility conditions of Swan Telecom.
