    Balwa was arrested in February 2011 for his alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam through his company Swan Telecom.[1][6][7] Following the $39 billion 2G spectrum scam, home ministry raised objections based largely on security concerns. The MHA had pointed out four issues that needed to be resolved before allowing the company to come into Etisalat DB, a company that got scarce 2G spectrum at allegedly throwaway prices, one of them being Shahid Balwa should not be involved in the operations of the company in any capacity, because of his connections with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.[8]

    Certainly not an inspiring story now. Does he still deserve this after all the scams now?

    senior most official in the police get the pay that i, drop out gets. i mean, to clear the IPS and get a megare salary? why blame the havaldar, ambani or balwa - why dont we just accept the fact that our so called nation is run my corrupt politicians who only think of self. so what if balwa made some money? he least gave quality contruction back? not like out govt, who believes in running jam packaed trains and buses through pot holes.

    my thought is very simple, of the 100 ruppee given to our babus, eat 20 rs, least give 80 back to the people.. but no, our politicians believe in a ratio which is other way round.

    He has invested Dawood's black money into Indian market in white form.

    Shahid today is one of the richest in India because of Dawood's money.

    This is all unfortunate for India because nobody can do anything. Sooner or late he will be released from Jail and again will start investing Dawood's money in Indian Real Estate.

    What a shame for all indians !!

    Can you answer me one simple question: If some politician are asking money to issue licenses.

    If I will not offer then some one else will offer, then in that case i will loose business of my interest.
    If license issuer could have asked for eligibility criteria and he disqualify, then I agree he was not worth to operate as a telecom provider.

    But the policy was on first come first serve basis. Have you ever heard even for taking admission in college its on Merit, for allocating telecom license its on first come first serve such a great policy makers.

    I agree he is guilty for bribe, Penalise him in monetary terms whatever govt. has lost due to this scam and punish those who force a person to bribe them.
