The CBI has removed a public prosecutor from the 2G spectrum case after he was allegedly caught in a taped conversation, discussing prosecution strategy with one of the high-profile accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case. The case is currently under trial before the court of a special Judge in New Delhi.

The CBI in a statement said, a reliminary enquiry has been registered to verify these allegations and the court has been informed about the developments. The agency maintains strict vigilance over its officers and the prosecution and no instance of professional misconduct is taken lightly.
