29 Mar 2011

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today arrested two more persons - Asif Balwa and Rajeev B Agarwal - for alleged involvement in money transfer to DMK's Kalaingar TV channel in connection with the 2-G spectrum case.

The two, who allegedly refused to cooperate with the CBI during questioning, were summoned from Mumbai and arrested in Delhi today, reports quoting agency sources said.

The CBI will produce the two before a designated court in Delhi tomorrow. The agency is expected to submit its first charge sheet on 2 April.

Asif is the younger brother Shahid Balwa, former managing director of DB-Etislat group, who has arrested by the CBI on 8 February.

Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal were working as directors of the erstwhile Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd, whose name was later changed to Kusegaon Realty.

Shahid is currently lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail and the CBI is probing his association with the underworld.
