A Delhi court today extended the Central Bureau of Investigation custody of former communications minister Andimuthu Raja and Shahid Usman Balwa, managing director of DB Realty, by three and four days respectively in connection with the spectrum allocation scandal.
The order was passed by CBI special judge O P Saini.
Earlier, Raja and Balwa were both remanded in to four days' CBI custody by the court on 10 Feb to enable the probe agency to further question them to "unearth the conspiracy" in the 2G spectrum scam.
According to the CBI, Balwa's company Swan Telecom (a part of the Mumbai-based DB Realty) allegedly got favours in the spectrum allocation and caused the national exchequer a loss of over Rs22,000 crore.
