Former CAG official R P Singh, who has created a storm with his statements on the 2G spectrum allocation audit, today claimed that his superiors gave him written order following which he signed on the final report giving a presumptive loss figure of 1.76 lakh crore rupees.

Talking to PTI Singh, who headed the CAG team that audited the 2G spectrum allocation, maintained that he had never put the figure of 1.76 lakh crore in his draft report. He said senior CAG officials told me that this is the final report and asked me through a written order to sign on it. So, he said, he followed the instruction and signed the report.
