"My husband never committed an illegal act," Aseela Vinod Goenka, wife of Swan Telecom Director Vinod Goenka who is facing trial in 2G spectrum allocation case, today told a Delhi court.
Deposing as a prosecution witness, Aseela told Special CBI Judge O P Saini that she did not know about the decisions of Dynamix Realty, through which Rs 200 crore "illegal gratification" was allegedly routed to Kalaignar TV, as the decisions are taken by its oversight committee.
"I am married since 27 years. It is correct that I do not know about the decisions of Dynamix Realty as the decisions are taken by oversight committee and Conwood Construction and Developers Private Limited is only one per cent partner in that. My husband never committed an illegal act," Aseela, also a Director of Conwood Construction and Developers Pvt Ltd, told the court.
During her cross examination by advocate Vijay Aggarwal, appearing for co-accused Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal, Aseela said Vinod Goenka discussed with her about "major matters" of DB Group at individual level.
"It is correct that my husband (Vinod) told me in January-February 2007 that DB Group would enter telecom sector. It is correct that it also came to my knowledge that Reliance would be a minority shareholder in this telecom business," she said.
Vinod Goenka, Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal, along with other accused, including former Telecom Minister A Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi, are facing trial in the case for their alleged involvement.
