Former communications minister A. Raja’s counsel Friday termed his ex-aide Aseevatham Achary untruthful, saying he was trying to influence the course of the trial in the 2G case.<\/p>\n
Achary, a key witness in the case, had Thursday said in the special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court that there was a threat to his life.<\/p>\n
Raja’s counsel Sushil Kumar told special CBI judge O.P. Saini that the drama created by Achary was meant to impact the hearing on the bail plea of Raja’s ex-private secretary R.K. Chandolia.<\/p>\n
Chandolia’s bail plea is scheduled for hearing in the Supreme Court Jan 2.<\/p>\n
To this, Saini said if Achary would have made the disclosure earlier, many of the accused in the case would not have been granted bail.<\/p>\n
