Tata Telecommunication Scam (2007)

The Tata Telecommunication Scam (2007) involved a ₹1,700 crore deal between Tata Realty and Unitech Group, which investigators later said was a "dubious and disguised" land deal possibly used to fund telecom licence applications (linked to the 2G spectrum scam). The Tata Group denied wrongdoing, calling it a genuine real-estate investment.

Revealed: Publicly reported by Economic Times on 3 October 2013, when the SFIO flagged the deal as suspicious.

Lalu Prasad Yadav connection:

There’s no verified direct link between Lalu Yadav and this Tata-Unitech telecom deal. However, political opponents alleged that Lalu gave undue favours to Tata companies in exchange for property benefits, though no formal case or legal proof ties him to this 2007 transaction.
