Radia case: SC orders CBI probe into issues relating to corrupt practices

Observing that tapped telephonic conversations between Nira Radia, politicians and others prima facie revealed deep-rooted malice, Supreme Court today ordered CBI probe into six issues relating to corrupt practices being adopted for private gains.


On the basis of analysis of the telephonic conversations of Radia which was done by apex court-appointed committee, the bench directed the CBI to complete its probe within two months and asked to file the report in the Supreme Court. However, the bench while reading out the order did not elaborate on the issues to be looked into by the agency.

The court directed the committee to scrutinise entire transcript of the tapped conversations and posted the matter for further directions on December 16.
