Lobbyist Niira Radia was paid ₹40 cr by Tata Group: Mistry

Ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry on Tuesday said that Tata Group was paying lobbyist and former PR manager Niira Radia's Vaishnavi Communications ₹40 crore annually. Earlier in 2009, Radia's telephonic conversations with senior journalists, politicians, and corporate houses were taped by the I-T Department and became the matter of a probe. The tapes led to the uncovering of the 2G scam.
