Two of the four retired bureaucrats reportedly being probed by the Cabinet Secretariat for their links with lobbyist Nira Radia have strongly denied having anything to do with the telecom sector and 2G spectrum allocation , while in service and since retirement.
The Times of India on Thursday reported that four ex-bureaucrats—former Trai chairman and disinvestment secretary Pradip Baijal; fomer economic affairs secretary CM Vasudev; former industrial policy and promotion secretary Ajay Dua; and former Trai member DPS Seth were being investigated for their connections with Noesis Strategic Consulting Services owned by Nira Radia .
Former secretary in the department of industrial policy and promotion Ajay Dua told ET that he was associated with Radia’s Vaishnavi Corporate Communications as a non-executive director for a few months in 2008-09 . But the firm’s board never met during his tenure and Mr Dua said he had resigned suo moto from the directorship in January 2009.
