Formal telecom Secretary gets bail in 2G scam

The Supreme Court on Wednesday gave bail to former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, arrested last year on February 2 for his alleged role in the 2G case. The bench granted bail to Behura stipulating that he would furnish a personal bond of 10 lakh rupees and surety of 5 lakh rupees.

The court also upheld the bail granted to former Telecom Minister A Raja's ex-Private Secretary R K Chandolia by the trial court.

A bench of justices G S Singhvi and K S Radhakrishnan upheld the trial court's order for bail to Chandolia, setting aside a Delhi High Court order, which had stayed grant of bail to him by the trial court suo motu.

The former Telecom Minister A Raja on Wednesday moved a Delhi court for bail for the first time on the ground of parity with other 13 accused who all have been granted the

relief in the scam case. He filed his application to the court of Special CBI Judge O P Saini soon after former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura, who was arrested along with him was granted bail by the Supreme Court.
