Former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura has been denied bail by the Delhi High Court in the 2G spectrum allocation scam. Behura was arrested in for his alleged role along with former Telecom Minister A Raja in February.
The same court earlier on November 28 had granted bail to five other co-accuseds in the 2G case, including DMK MP Kanimozhi and Bollywood filmmaker Karim Morani. While granting bail to the five, Justice Shali had reserved his order on Behura's bail plea, saying his case was different from those of other accused as he was a public servant.
Behura and former Telecom Minister A Raja, who were arrested on February two this year, are the only accused who
are in jail as all 12 others have been granted bail by various courts.
Earlier, during the hearing on December one, CBI had opposed his bail plea saying complicity of public servants
should be viewed seriously and if he is released,ex-minister A Raja may also seek same relief on ground of parity.
