A Delhi court on Monday recorded the statement of former Telecom Minister A Raja, a key accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case.

Special CBI Judge O P Saini started the recording of the statement of the accused by saying that it was a "direct conversation" between the accused and the judge.
"Now the statement of accused will be recorded. It is a direct conversation between the accused and the judge. You (accused) may choese to reply or not reply," the judge said.

The stage for the recording of evidence of Raja and 16 other accused, including DMK MP Kanimozhi, was set earlier when the court had supplied a draft questionnaire containing 1,718 questions running into 824 pages to the accused.

Meanwhile, the special court which was also scheduled to record the statements of promoters of Essar Group and Loop Telecom, who are facing trial in a case arising out of the probe into the 2G spectrum scam, deferred their deposition before it to May 19.
