The recording of statements of ADAG Chairman Anil Ambani and his wife Tina as witnesses in ongoing 2G case trial will help CBI bolster its case, agency Chief Ranjit Sinha said today.
The agency has moved an application before the special CBI court here seeking recording of statements of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group Chairman and his spouse as witnesses.

Three top executives of the ADAG group--Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendra Pipara- are accused in the ongoing case.
