| A CBI court has acquitted all the accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam on Thursday. The Special CBI judge OP Saini acquitted all the 19 accused, including former telecom minister A Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi, of all the charges in the Rs 30,000 crore scam. According to the defence counsel Vijay Aggarwal, the court while passing the judgement said that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove any of its charge. The verdict has led to a war of words between BJP and Congress. “Today’s judgment is a very bad judgement. This must be appealed in higher court,” said BJP leader Subramanian Swamy. Read |
