SC sets up 6-member team to examine Radia tapes

The Supreme Court has set up a six-member team -- five from the CBI and one from the Income Tax department to examine tapes containing conversation of Niira Radia and others.

The Supreme Court on February 8, said the tapped telephone conversations of corporate lobbyist Niira Radia with politicians, corporate honchos and others needs to be scrutinised by the CBI to find out the element of criminality.

A bench of justices GS Singhvi and SJ Mukhopadhaya said that it had gone through transcripts of some of the conversations which were not personal and innocuous in nature.
