Sadiq Batcha, close of aide of A.Raja, and an accused in the 2G scam was found dead by hanging in his residence at Chennai. Batcha was questioned several times by the CBI in connection with the 2G scam. It is stated that he had full knowledge of many transactions in connection with the scam.

Is it suicide or some foul play? In such cases, it is not unusual that crucial witnesses / accused disappear from the scene so that further enquiries/questioning can not be conducted. CBI is already on the trail.
