Hidden agenda behind CBI filing DA case: A Raja
Highlights
Former Telecom Minister A Raja said on Saturday that there \"seemed\" a \"hidden agenda and politics\" behind CBI lodging a fresh disproportionate assets case against him.
Former Telecom Minister A Raja said on Saturday that there "seemed" a "hidden agenda and politics" behind CBI lodging a fresh disproportionate assets case against him.
Five years after registering a case in the 2G Spectrum allocation scam against Raja, the agency had lodged a fresh case against him on August 19 for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets worth Rs 27.92 Crore during the 11-year period between 1999 and 2010.
Raja said "... CBI Investigating Officer Vijay Priyadarshini accepted in a Court on November 13, 2013 that there was no disproportionate assets after investigating my income and the income of my family members and relatives."
He alleged that the Chennai unit of the CBI had filed an FIR now stating that the properties of the late Sadhiq Basha- owned Green House Promoters Limited belonged to him. Basha, an alleged associate of Raja, had committed suicide in 2011.
"CBI Delhi unit says there is no culpability in the Green House Promoters Ltd. Whereas Chennai CBI says that all the properties accumulated by the Green House Promoters is my property," Raja told reporters here.
"There is not only inconsistency on the part of CBI, Income Tax and Enforcement Directorate officials, it seems there is a hidden agenda and politics behind it. Therefore I have written a letter to the investigating officer, CBI Chennai, today revealing all the details," he said.
