The CBI on Tuesday questioned corporate lobbyist Niira Radia in connection with its probe into the 2G spectrum scam involving former telecom minister A. Raja. She was questioned for second time by the agency officials.
The CBI officials questioned Ms Radia for several hours at the agency headquarters. According to sources, Ms Radia was asked questions related to her bank transactions and also about her reported telephonic conversations with top officials of the telecom ministry, former bureaucrats and some scribes.
Ms Radia’s role first emerged when the income-tax department recorded her conversations allegedly with Mr Raja, some corporate biggies and a few journalists when the process of 2G allotment was going on.
The CBI officials are also scrutinising details of the email server back-up of Ms Radia and some others in connection with its probe into the 2G spectrum scam. The agency officials recently seized the email server back-up of Ms Radia and some private persons.
The agency is trying to gather information and details about the contacts of Ms Radia.
