2G Case: Raja accuses CBI of creating 'false witness'

NEW DELHI: Former telecom minister A Raja on Friday accused CBI of making his ex-aide Aseervatham Achary a “false witness” to depose against him. “He is a created false witness and this is my ultimate case,” said senior advocate Sushil Kumar, who is defending Raja.

Achary in his deposition gave details of how Raja was in regular touch with other accused corporate honchos and their companies which were granted spectrum in violation of law. Kumar, cross examining the witness, further contended that Achary’s Friday statement of being threatened by a person sitting in the court room was a “drama” which was intended to influence the pending bail petition of R K Chandolia which would be heard by the Supreme Court on January 2.
