Reliance Infocomm head Mr Anil Ambani on Wednesday appeared at the CBI headquarters and remained with the agency officials for nearly two hours in connection with the probe in the 2G scam. Mr Ambani?s visit pertained to the agency seeking clarification on certain documents relating to Swan telecom.
Reliance Infocomm had 9.9 per cent equity in Swan Telecom before Swan applied for new licence for 2G spectrum. Swan was promoted by DB Realty group headed by Shahid Usman Balwa, who is at present in CBI custody. The CBI is probing the financial trail between Swan Telecom and DMK owned Kalaignar television.
An ADAG statement said, ?During the course of his weekly visit to New Delhi, Mr Ambani met CBI officials today to clarify ongoing issues, relating to telecom matters for the years 2001 to 2010, and virtually every telecom operator in the country.? It said no summons of any kind have been issued by CBI to Mr Ambani.
The ADAG statement said, ?Neither Reliance Telecom nor RCOM nor any Reliance ADA Group individual, company or affiliate held even a single share in Swan Telecom Ltd at the time of grant of the 2G licence to them in January 2008, or at any time thereafter?.
