New Delhi:
CBI sources said Ambani was questioned in connection with his company Reliance Communications being looked at as a beneficiary of 2G spectrum licence, as part of the investigating agency questioning all telecom players that got licences.
Anil Ambani's ADAG has however issued a statement that he has not been summoned and that he has merely met CBI officials, during a weekly visit to Delhi, to clarify on "ongoing issues."
Here is the statement from the ADAG:
During the course of his weekly visit to New Delhi, Anil 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.
No summons of any kind have been issued by CBI to Mr. Ambani.
It is reiterated:
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 license to them in January 2008, or at any time thereafter.
Neither Reliance Telecom, nor RCOM, nor any Reliance ADA Group individual, company or affiliate has obtained any monetary gain or other benefit, directly or indirectly, from the grant of 2G license to Swan Telecom in January 2008.
