2G trial: Tina Ambani tells court she is a housewife


Wife of Reliance ADA Group Chairman, Tina Ambani, who is described by the CBI as someone “who holds an important position in the Reliance ADA Group,” told a special CBI court hearing the 2G spectrum case today that she had no role in running the Reliance ADAG companies.
“I have no role in the running of Reliance ADA group as I am a housewife. I run a hospital and do a lot of social work. I have never been associated with any company of this group,” Tina Ambani told the judge.



According to the CBI, Reliance Telecom used Swan Telecom, which was an ineligible firm to participate in the spectrum auction, as a front company to get 2G licences and spectrum.
Yesterday, Anil Ambani, who was called as a prosecution witness, had also denied having any knowledge of Swan Telecom. (Read full reporthere)

However, Tina Ambani told the court today that she was not aware of Tiger Traders, Zebra Consultants or Parrot Consultants.
