The CBI had on February 11 removed A K Singh as the

prosecutor in the case after he was allegedly caught in a taped conversation purportedly discussing prosecution strategy with Chandra. The suspected voice in the tape, said to have been recorded in September last year, is also heard detailing a three-judge Supreme Court judgement which could be used as a reference in the legal strategy. The CBI has appointed K K Goyal as the new prosecutor in the case. Unitech had rejected the allegations saying Chandra had never met the prosecutor in the 2G case outside the court or had any telephonic conversation with him. The company has also denied that the voice on the tape was that of Chandra and said it appeared to be a fabricated recording sent anonymously to the CBI. Besides Raja and Chandra, others facing trial in the case include DMK MP Kanimozhi, former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, Raja's former private secretary R K Chandolia, Swan Telecom promoters Shahid Usman Balwa and Vinod Goenka. Top Reliance ADAG executives Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendra Pipara, Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd's directors Asif Balwa and Rajeev Aggarwal, Bollywood filmmaker Karim Morani and DMK-run Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar are also facing trial in the case. Besides these 14 accused, three telecom firms - Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd, Reliance Telecom Ltd and Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Ltd - are also accused in the case.
