A Delhi special court today granted time till May 5 for recording of statements of former Telecom Minister A
Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and 15 others accused facing trial in the 2G case.

The court on March 27 had supplied a draft questionnaire to the accused and they were supposed to record the statements today.

However the accused sought more time to answer the 1,718 questions running into 824 pages asked by the court. Special CBI Judge O P Saini posted the matter for May 5 saying that they will not be allowed any more time after that.

The court had in November last year concluded the recording of prosecution evidence.

The special court was set up last year on the direction of the Supreme Court.
