PTI | February 22, 2012



The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday presented a status report of its probe into the 2G spectrum allocation case to the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). An ED team, led by Director Arun Mathur, gave the presentation to a panel of the CVC, headed by Chief Vigilance Commissioner Pradeep Kumar.

The nearly two-hour presentation by the ED encapsulated its probe related to alleged contraventions regarding money laundering and foreign exchange violations in the 2G case, which included information obtained by the agency from outside the country.

According to sources, the ED also briefed the CVC about the role of various individuals and companies involved in the scam.

The agency, during its probe in the case, recorded the statement of various individuals involved in the case including that of corporate lobbyist Niira Radia. It also visited Mauritius, Cyprus and few other countries in order to gather vital data related to the case.

The ED, recently also registered a case under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), against former Union minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanidhi.

The trial in the 2G case involves 17 accused, including three companies -- Reliance Telecom Ltd, Swan Telecom and Unitech Ltd.

The meeting comes in the wake of a Supreme Court direction to the agency to file status reports on its ongoing probe in the spectrum case to the CVC.

Besides former telecom minister A Raja, his former private secretary R K Chandolia, former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura, DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV's MD Sharad Kumar are facing trial.
