New Delhi: In a new revelation on the 2G spectrum scam, BJP leader and former Telecom Minister Arun Shourie has said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) knows the identity of the man who handled the bribe money in the Telecom Ministry, and wondered why that person has not been questioned till now.
Speaking to Shekhar Gupta on NDTV's Walk the Talk, Shourie also said the CBI clearly knows the identities of the front companies that were used for the 2 G scam.
Shourie: The CBI knows to such an extent that the officer has said that these companies' representatives used to bring the note which he should sign on a pen drive. It used to be put into my computer, a print taken and Raja would sign it. To this detail the CBI knows. CBI knows the identity of the front companies that were used.
Shekhar: Front companies for money transactions...bribe transactions?
Shourie: I would have no doubt, otherwise they are not doing charity here...and the correspondence is there. The correspondence of the licenses being given and the company suddenly prospering...they suddenly become very great consultants...they suddenly get very great infrastructure projects...they can't show which is the bridge they have built...the CBI knows the identity of the critical person who handled the money and it is a mystery to the other officers as to why that a particular officer has not been questioned to this date.
The accommodation of allies by the PM... in the terms of reference of the Group of Ministers, the pricing of spectrum was included and Raja insisted that no this should be taken out...and somehow this was taken out from the reference of the Group of Ministers. It could not have been done in our system without the knowledge of the PM.
