Former Telecom Minister A Raja, arrested for his role in the 2G scam, will begin his arguments on charges of cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy against him from Monday. With the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) completing its arguments on framing of charges against Raja and 16 others, including 3 telecom companies, the former minister will begin his arguments from July 25.
