New Delhi:
A court in Delhi will decide today whether to summon billionaire Anil Ambani and his wife Tina to testify in the telecom case, also referred to as the 2G scam.
Mr Ambani is chairman of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG). Three senior executives from his telecom firm, Reliance Telecom Limited were arrested for allegedly using another company called Swan Telecom to get licenses and frequency beyond their permissible quota.
The CBI is investigating the scam that centres on whether mobile network licenses and accompanying second-generation airwaves were given at sweetheart deals to ineligible companies in 2008 by A Raja, who was then Telecom Minister.
Earlier this week, the CBI said in court that Mr Ambani, as a prosecution witness, can help explain the actions of his executives, Gautam Doshi, Surendra Pipara and Hari Nair, who are on bail.
The agency also said that Mrs Tina Ambani presided over meetings where key decisions related to Swan Telecom were taken.
The promoters of Swan, Shahid Usman Balwa and Vinod Goenka, were also arrested in 2011 and were later granted bail.
