New Delhi, Nov 19 (IANS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Friday registered a case in the allocation of additional spectrum to private telecom firms when the late Pramod Mahajan was telecommunications minister in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

"The agency has registered a case in the allocation of additional spectrum today during the NDA's rule," said a CBI official.

"The agency also raided the Vodafone office in Mumbai, Airtel office in Gurgaon and residences of Shyamal Ghosh and J.R. Gupta," the official added. The late Pramod Mahajan of the Bharatiya Janata Party was telecom minister between 2001-2003.

While J.R. Gupta was the deputy director general in the telecom ministry, Shyamal Ghosh was telecom secretary.

Earlier, the investigating agency had conducted a preliminary inquiry regarding the allocation of additional spectrum from 2001 to 2007.

    There is no Home Ministry advise about the security threats in case of Vodafone and Airtel .In Case of A Raja there was a Advise by Home ministry that dont give spectrum Companies associated with Etisalat and Uninor as they are security threats to the Country .In Spite of this Advise A Raja went ahead with Giving Licenses to Swan-Etisalat and Unintec-Uninor.The Former threat is from Pakistan and the Other from China .
