Anil Ambani chief, Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) today appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the 2G spectrum allocation controversy.

ADAG, however, issued a statement saying that the CBI had not summoned Ambani.

"Anil Ambani visited CBI as part of his weekly visit to Delhi. There was no shareholding in Swan Telecom at the time of grant of 2G licence in 2008.

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 licence 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," the statement said.
