The CBI has questioned chairman of Anant Raj Group, a Delhi-based real estate company, Amit Sarin, and Idea Cellular CEO Sanjeev Aga in connection with its probe into the 2G spectrum allotment scam. Sarin allegedly had a role to play in the transfer of money to Swan MD Shahid Usman Balwa. Aga was questioned on licences given to the company for the Mumbai circle in 2005, said agency officials.
According to CBI, Sarin was questioned on the alleged transfer of Rs 102 crore to Sidharth Consultancy, earlier called Giraffe Consultancies. Last week, Special Judge O P Saini, in his order, had said: “Board minutes of Giraffe Consultancies Services Ltd were forged to show that its shares stood transferred on February 25, 2007 to persons belonging to DB Group/relatives of Balwa. Giraffe Consultancies had funded Tigers Traders, which was used by ADAG to subscribe majority shares of Swan Telecom.”
