Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa, facing trial in the 2G spectrum allocation scam case, on Saturday faced the ire of a city court which said he “deserved” to be taken into custody for his misconduct which caused “embarrassment” (to the judge) during the trial.
“let me pour my heart out. He deserved to be taken into custody,” Special CBI Judge OP Saini said. “I have told everybody that I have no faith in you (Balwa). The court has been virtually cheated,” an angry special judge said, adding “my patience with you is over now.”
Saini said Balwa has “embarrassed” him a lot due to his conduct and if he has not understood the question, then why he has given answers to around 500 questions which were asked by the court during recording of his statement. “It is an exercise to trap the court,” the judge said, adding “be ready to go to jail. He is such a big businessman and he is saying he is not understanding the questions,” the judge said.
