The CBI today submitted to the Supreme Court the status report on its ongoing investigations into the alleged 2G spectrum allocation scam. The status report was submitted to the apex court registry in a sealed cover. The apex court, earlier on November 25, had castigated the CBI on why it had not questioned former Telecom Minister A Raja and the Telecom Secretary in the case. The Court said, the agency was beating around the bush when illegality is prima facie evident. A bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly during the hearing had lambasted CBI for failing to examine the former minister and the telecom secretary, saying that it was the minimum expected of it as the criticism had come from CAG, a Constitutional authority. CBI had offered to place a status report on Tuesday before the court which also took on record the CAG report placed by Centre for Public Interest Litigation counsel Prashant Bhushan. The CAG had estimated a presumptive loss of around one lakh 76 thousand crore rupees to the public exchequer due to allocation of spectrum to various allegedly ineligible telecom operators at throw away prices.
