2G: CBI to give transcripts of Radia tapes to accused

The agency will supply some additional documents to the accused on July 12.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday told a Delhi court that it would supply to the 2G scam case accused by July 12 the transcripts of tapped telephonic talk of corporate lobbyist Niira Radia with various people.

“We will supply Niira Radia’s tape by July 12,” CBI prosecutor A K Singh told Special CBI Judge O P Saini.

The agency told the court that it would also supply some additional documents to the accused on July 12.

The development comes in the wake of some of the accused submitting to the court that the CBI had not provided them the transcripts of Radia’s conversation,despite her being made a key prosecution witness in the case with her statements to the CBI often referring to those conversations.

Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd,named as an accused in the scam,had yesterday told the court that the CBI should supply to them all the documents,which it has filed in the court along with the chargesheet,so that they could respond.

The counsel for other accused also pointed out to the court that the CBI is withholding from them some of the documents which they have filed in the court.

The CBI,however,had countered these allegations saying there are some documents on which they have not relied upon and thus the accused were not supplied the copies of such documents.
