INDIAN authorities yesterday began questioning the country's former telecommunications minister as part of investigations into a telecoms scandal that cost the country billions and paralyzed proceedings in parliament for nearly four weeks.
The Central Bureau of Investigation interrogated Andimuthu Raja for his role in the 2008 sale of 2G cellular licenses, which have resulted in losses of nearly US$36 billion in potential revenue for the government, a CBI official said.
The official said yesterday's interrogation was based on thousands of documents recovered during searches at the offices of several companies and homes of nearly a dozen suspects, including politicians, retired government officials and lobbyists for the Indian telecoms industry.
