Sukh Ram granted bail
in telecom scam case

The Delhi high court on Thursday suspended the sentences imposed by a trial court on former communication minister Sukh Ram and the two others in the telecom scam case and granted them bail.

The two co-accused in the case are Runu Ghosh, a senior telecom official and P Ramarao, former managing director of Hyderabad-based Advance Radio Masts.

The court directed the three to furnish personal bail bonds of Rs 25,000 each and a surety of a like amount before the trial court.

A designated CBI court had convicted the three on July 5.

While Sukh Ram and Ramarao were sentenced to three years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 200,000 each, Ghosh was awarded two years' jail term with a fine of Rs 100,000.

Ghosh, a senior telecom official, who was posted at Ahmedabad when the trial court pronounced its judgement, has since been put under suspension.
