A former senior top official of BPL Cellular Ltd, who was deposing as a prosecution witness in a case arising out of the probe into 2G spectrum scam, today faced the ire of a Delhi court which warned him for giving "evasive" replies.
During the recording of evidence, S Subramaniam, a former CFO of BPL Cellular Ltd, was pulled up by the court which said action could be taken against him for not giving proper answers to the questions asked to him.
"Despite repeatedly impressing upon the witness to be specific, precise and clear, the witness starts telling a story in response to a question," Special CBI Judge O P Saini said.
"He (Subramaniam) is warned to be careful in future, failing which action shall be initiated against him, he being a highly qualified person and the impression being generated by him is that he is deliberately long winding and evasive in replies," the judge said.
