CBI will examine Tata Sons’ former Chairman Ratan Tata and its current chief Cyrus Mistry in connection with the agency’s ongoing preliminary enquiries relating to the intercepted communications of corporate lobbyist Niira Radia.
CBI sources said on Thursday that the agency would seek clarifications from Tata and Mistry as the agency has named the Tata group in two enquiries registered by it arising out of the intercepted calls. The sources said the clarifications would be sought soon.
“We don’t have any information on this. We do not know about this,” a Tata Sons spokesperson said when asked to comment on the CBI move.
The matter related to supply of low-floor buses by Tata Motors to the Government of Tamil Nadu under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission scheme of the Union Government is under enquiry by the Chennai branch of the CBI.
The allotment of iron ore mines at Ankua, in Jharkhand’s Singhbhum district, to Tata Steel is also being enquired into, they said.
