2G Verdict L: As Congress and DMK Claim Vindication, Arun Jaitley Says Judgment 'Not a Clean Chit' News live
2G SPECTRUM SCAM VERDICT LIVE NEWS UPDATES: A special CBI court has acquitted all accused, including A Raja and Kanimozhi, in the 2G spectrum scam case, saying “quality of prosecution totally deteriorated and it became directionless and diffident”. Bouyed by the verdict, the DMK and the Congress say the entire case was a “massive conspiracy” and “propaganda”. Former UPA ministers Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari and Veerappa Moily say former CAG Vinod Rai — who had pegged the loss to the exchequer at Rs 1.76 lakh crore — should be held accountable now. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, however, says the Congress shouldn’t treat the verdict as a “badge of honour”. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, a private complainant in the case, wants the CBI to appeal against the acquittals in High Court. The trial in 2G spectrum scam started six years ago in 2011 after the court had framed charges against 17 accused in the CBI case for offences that entailed punishment ranging from six months to life imprisonment.
