All accused in the 2G spectrum allocation scam cases - including former telecom minister A Raja and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi - have been
acquitted by a Special CBI court, here.
The verdict was announced nearly 7 years after the first arrest was made by the CBI in 2011.
The scam relates to the granting of 2G spectrum licence allocations in 2007-08 which caused, according to a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, a loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore.
The 2G scam was among the major corruption scandals that came to light during the second term of the UPA government headed by Manmohan Singh.
