  • On April 2, 2011, 7 steel trucks pulled into one of New Delhi's courts. The trucks contained an 80,000-page long chargesheet drawn up by India’s Central Bureau of Investigation that implicated a cohort of high-ranking ministers, several government officials and the who’s who of India’s business world in one of the biggest ‘ghotala’, or scam, the country had ever seen - the 2G spectrum allocation.
    This is the story of how India’s rich and powerful got away with alleged corruption and a criminal conspiracy worth billions.

    My dad was involved in this a long time ago. He talked to management but they just told those ppl to not do it and didn't punish them at all. My dad quit.

    Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

    If 2G was rolled out properly and fairly it would have given a huge boost to Indian Economy. Until Jio came the internet was a luxury costing Rs 150-200/GB 2G to Rs250-350/GB in 3G connections.

    Can't say I am surprised, growing up in India you get to see how such people get away without consequences.

    As an Indian, I felt dejected when court acquitted all the looters..Judiciary needs reforms too as most of the lower level judges could be corrupt as well
