Hidden agenda behind CBI filing DA case: Raja

Former Telecom Minister A Raja on Saturday said there "seemed" a "hidden agenda and politics" behind CBI lodging a fresh disproportionate assets case against him.

Five years after registering a case in the 2G Spectrum allocation scam against Raja, the agency had lodged a fresh case against him on August 19 for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets worth Rs 27.92 crore during the 11-year period between 1999 and 2010. Raja said "... CBI Officer Vijay Priyadarshini accepted in a Court on November 13, <g data-gr-id="16">2013</g> that there <g data-gr-id="15">was</g> no disproportionate assets after investigating my income and the income of my family members and relatives."  He alleged that the Chennai unit of the CBI had filed an FIR now stating that the properties of the late <g data-gr-id="13">Sadhiq</g> Basha- owned Green House Promoters Limited belonged to him. <g data-gr-id="14">Basha,</g> had committed suicide in 2011. "CBI Delhi unit says there is no culpability in the Green House Promoters Ltd. Whereas Chennai CBI says that all the properties accumulated by the Green House Promoters is my property," Raja said.
