NEW DELHI, Feb 17:
Members of a Parliamentary panel have expressed anguish over the “snail’s pace” investigations being carried out by the CBI abroad in the high profile 2G spectrum scam case.
The CBI has informed the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on 2G that it has sent Letters Rogatory to various countries seeking details of cash flow to establish cases of criminal culpability in allocation of 2G spectrum allocation, and also allocation of additional spectrum beyond eligibility.
During the meeting earlier last week, members of the Committee told CBI Director Ranjit Sinha that they were unhappy over the “snail’s pace” progress in investigations abroad.
CBI said while cases in India have been investigated, the probe in foreign countries was still pending.
The probe agency has sent Letters Rogatory, issued on April 11, 2012, to Malaysia, the UK, Mauritius and Bermuda, and their execution is being pursued with the help of Interpol and respective High Commissions, CBI said in a presentation to the JPC last week.
Letters Rogatory were issued seeking information about source of funding of certain telecom firms who were awarded the radio waves. (PTI)
