New Delhi: Jolted by the disclosure that its case in the mega spectrum scam may have been compromised, the CBI has launched a probe into the audio tape of the purported conversation between its prosecutor A K Singh and 2G scam accused Unitech MD Sanjay Chandra.
The CBI on Wednesday examined representatives of Chandra’s company whose names figured in the conversation. The agency also took Singh’s voice sample and sent it for forensic examination while it is yet to get Chandra’s consent for his voice sample.
Sources said the agency was examining every person mentioned in the 17-minute audio tape, and Shahid Balwa of D B Realty would be called for examination soon. About former, DoT official A K Srivastava — the star CBI witness in the 2G case, sources said he has backed the probe and never retracted from his testimony.
“So far, our enquiry has revealed that Srivastava has not been compromised and he has not been contacted by any 2G accused. The prosecution strategy discussed by A K Singh with Chandra has not affected Srivastava’s testimony,” a source said.
“The audio tape, prima facie, suggests that A K Singh very well knew what he was discussing with Chandra and he was not being pushed to say anything,” the source said.
