Concerned over one more of its draft reports after the 2G spectrum scam finding its way to the media,Congress today said the CAG needed to look into the issue of leakage of its documents.

The CAG should look at this issue seriously, party spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters.

His remarks came in the wake of a latest draft report of the CAG which has rapped oil ministry and its technical arm,the Directorate Genergal of Hydrocarbons (DGH),for allegedly favouring Reliance Industries (RIL) by allowing it to double KG-D6 gas fields cost,a charge vehemently denied the by Mukesh Ambani-run firm.

To a query whether his remark meant that he was targeting the CAG for the leak,Tewari said he was not making any suggestion,but those concerned would take the hint.

He said there must be some intention behind these leakages that take place before the process towards the CAG end is complete.

The CAG in its draft audit report of KG-D6 block said the ministry and the DGH also bent the rules to grant huge benefits to Reliance when it was allowed to retain entire block,but said gains cannot be quantified.
