2G scam probe News

The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted protection to Enforcement Directorate officer Rajeshwar Singh, who is probing 2G scam, against 'baseless' complaints by any accused being investigated by him. 

Essar Group promoter Anshuman Ruia, facing trial along with others in a case arising out of the 2G scam probe, has been denied permission to travel abroad with a special court rapping him for "wasting" its time by submitting "obscure" documents.

Salve told special CBI judge O P Saini that if Ruia is permitted to travel abroad, the ongoing trial proceedings will not be hampered at all and during that period, even the case was not listed for hearing.

CBI Chief Ranjit Sinha has said that noted lawyer Prashant Bhushan cannot claim immunity from disclosing the name of a "whistle blower" who provided him the list of visitors to his official residence and demanded that he reveal his source.
