The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will file an interim report on 2G spectrum scam case in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. The report could tell the Apex court about former telecom minister A Raja's foreign bank accounts.


The agency is likely to request for more time to look into fresh allegations made against telecom major Essar. Sources have told CNN-IBN that the CBI could also furnish details about the foreign bank accounts of former telecom minsiter A Raja, his aide RK Chandolia and former telecom secretary Siddartha Behura.
CBI is likely to ask for more time to file the next chargesheet. This chargesheet was supposed to discuss the link between Essar Group and Loop Telecom. Sources say Loop was a front for Essar as both companies were criminally culpable. Essar stake in Loop was around 2 per cent and that makes for no case for any criminal violation.
The account transactions of Raja, Chandolia and Behura have to be verified to see if there was any money trail in these accounts and that process is also going on. Also watch the accompanying video for CNBC-TV18's Siddharth Zarabi's comments.
