More people who were part of Radia’s telephonic conversations will be called for questioning, they said. A Supreme Court bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi had identified 23 issues which were framed by an apex court- appointed team on the analysis of the tapped conversations of Radia with bureaucrats, politicians, business honchos and journalists.
