The trial in the 2G money laundering case began in a special court here Monday with the recording of the statement of prosecution witness Himanshu Kumar Lal, joint director in the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

Lal, a complainant in the case, told the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge O.P. Saini that he was supervising the investigation in the case.

He told the court that he was given the charge of probing this case in January 2013 and there were three investigating officers (IO) who carried out the investigation.

"I was supervising this case. There were three IOs, ED's deputy director Rajeshwar Singh and ED's assistant directors Kamal Singh and Satyendra Singh," he said.

 

The court will continue the recording of Lal's statement Wednesday.

The court Oct 31 framed charges of money laundering against former union telecom minister A. Raja, his party colleague and DMK MP Kanimozhi and others.
