NEW DELHI: The CBI on Thursday accused former telecom minister A Raja of causing a loss of Rs 22,000 crore to the exchequer by favouring some telecom firms in award of the 2G spectrum licences and demanded his custody for five days, which a city court granted.
Raja, former telecom secretary Siddartha Behura and Raja's former personal secretary R K Chandolia, were produced before special CBI judge O P Saini a day after they were arrested in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
