The Central Bureau of Investigation registered a disproportionate assets
case against former Telecom Minister A. Raja, his wife, brother and 14
others on Wednesday Aug 19,2015
The former Union Minister has been accused of acquiring disproportionate
assets worth Rs.27.9 crore, through his relatives and close associates,
during 1999-2010.
Among those named as accused are Mr. Raja's wife Parameswari, brother
Parmesh Kumar, close associate C. Krishnamurthy and Rekha Banu, wife of
Mr. Raja's close associate Sadiq Basha, who had allegedly committed
suicide.
"It is alleged that Mr. Raja and other accused persons have amassed
assets, including immovable properties, through various companies
including Greenhouse Promoters, Kovay Shelters Promoters and Shivakamam
Trading Pvt Ltd," said a CBI official.
CBI probe revealed that several relatives and associates of Mr. Raja
allegedly had "exponential" financial growth, during the period in
question, without having requisite wherewithal.
"Searches are being carried out at 20 places in Delhi, Chennai,
Perambalur, Tiruchirappalli and Coimbatore.
Details of several bank
accounts and properties have been collected," said the CBI official.
A Raja is already facing trial in the 2G spectrum allocations case.
It is learnt that the case is a fallout of the 2G case investigations.
