2G spectrum scam: CBI raids residences of Raja, 4 officials

New Delhi/Chennai: CBI Wednesday carried out searches at the residences of former Telecom Minister A Raja in Delhi and Chennai besides carrying out raids at the premises of four other Telecom officials, including his personal secretary R K Chandolia, in connection with the Rs 22,000 crore 2G spectrum scam.

CBI sleuths began the searches in the wee hours of the morning in Delhi and Chennai at the residences of 47-year-old Raja, who was forced to resign as minister on November 14 in the wake of CAG's report that the rates at which 2G spectrum was allotted resulted in a possible loss to the exchequer to the tune of Rs 1.76 lakh crore.

Raids were also carried out at the residences of former Telecom Secretary Siddarth Behura, Chandolia, Member Telecom Commission K Sridhar and Deputy Director General in the Department of Telecom A K Srivastava, CBI sources said.
