CBI is ‘Central Bureau of Imagination’: Shahid Balwa

“The only question is whether we (Swan Telecom) were eligible or not and this question is based on clause 8 of the Unified Access Service Licence (UASL) guidelines. Everything else other than this that we were favoured for Delhi circle is all bogus … CBI should be called the Central Bureau of Imagination for such an imaginary probe,” he said.

Finding faults with the CBI charge sheet,Balwa said the agency did not make Ajay Chandra,brother of Sanjay Chandra,Unitech Managing Director and co-accused,an accused after he said it was Sanjay who was looking after telecom business.

“I gave a similar statement that I am only responsible for the telecom business. Even then,they put Vinod Goenka (another Director of Swan Telecom) in jail.

“Same for Dayaluammal (DMK supremo Karunanidhi’s wife) who holds 60 percent shares in Kalaignar TV (accused of receiving alleged bribe of Rs 200 crore from DB Realty). She has not been prosecuted and rightly so. Why is it that CBI thought all my relatives and friends and brother should be in jail?,” he said.
