In connection with the 2G spectrum case, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor D Subbarao, on Nov 19 deposed in a Delhi court as a prosecution witness, that he had already questioned in 2007 the spectrum fee of around Rs 1,600 crore for pan India licence.
Subbarao, who was the Finance Secretary from April 2007 to September 2008, is a key witness in the case in which former Telecom Minister A Raja and others are facing trial. Meanwhile during recording his statement, Subbarao mentioned about the letter he had written on November 22, 2007 to the then Telecom Secretary DS Mathur, that he had already questioned about the spectrum fee.
Moreover, CBI prosecutor AK Singh also showed various files and notes of various departments concerned, including that of Department of Telecom and Ministry of Finance, to Subbarao during the recording of his statement which is likely to continue throughout the day. Till November 11, more than 75 witnesses have testified before the CBI special court in the alleged 2G scam. The court had framed charges against 17 accused under various sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act.
