Observing that tapped telephonic conversations between Nira Radia, politicians and others, prima facie revealed deep-rooted malice, the Supreme Court yesterday ordered a CBI probe into six issues relating to corrupt practices being adopted for private gains.

On the basis of analysis of the telephonic conversations of Radia which was done by an apex court-appointed committee, the bench directed the CBI to complete its probe within two months. It also asked for a report to be filed in the Supreme Court.

However, the bench while reading out the order did not elaborate on the issues to be looked into by the agency. The court posted the matter for further directions on December 16.
