Even as a special court dismissed a plea to make the Home Minister P. Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G case, the CBI on Saturday said that it has not found any evidence of criminal culpability against him during its probe.
Sources say that while being asked about the court's rejection of the petition by the Janata Party President Swamy that it had conducted a thorough investigation in the allocation of 2G spectrum license and no evidence of criminal culpability on the part of P. Chidambaram has emerged so far.
Swamy, in his petition had sought making Mr. Chidambaram a co-accused in the 2G case alleging that he was culpable as the then Telecom Minister A Raja in determining the price of the spectrum.
Special Judge O.P. Saini dismissed Swami's petition holding that Mr. Chidambaram had not acted with malafide intention and had not conspired with Mr. Raja to destabilize the telecom policies for pecuniary gains.
The court said that it will commence the hearing on the complaint filed by Dr. Swamy in which he had made further allegations against Mr. Raja without making Chidambaram an accused from March 17.
