New Delhi, Jul 23: Former Telecom Minister A Raja who had been arrested for his role in the 2G scam will begin his defence from Monday July 25.

Raja will start his arguments on charges of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy against him.

“Arguments on charge for prosecution heard and concluded. Put up for arguments on charge for the accused persons on July 25, 2011,” Special CBI Judge O P Saini said.

Special Public Prosecutor U U Lalit told the court that a loss of Rs 30,000 crore has been caused to the public exchequer going purely by the note on revision of license fee by Indian Revenue Service officer Manju Madhavan or the Prime Minister’s letter.

Lalit said that those involved in the scam that caused huge loss to the exchequer, included former Telecom Secretary Siddhartha Behura, Raja’s erstwhile aide R K Chandolia,  Shahid Balwa, Vinod Goenka and Sanjay Chandra.

The CBI had begun its arguments on framing of charges against the 17 accused in the case from July 21.
