Sanjay Chandra's Unitech was allegedly one of the biggest beneficiaries of the 2G scam, having been awarded 20 out of 22 Telecom circles by then UPA Telecom Minister A Raja in 2008.

In October 2010, after Supreme Court asked the UPA to reply to a notice regarding 2G and just weeks before the CAG report on 2G was tabled in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi had signed a deal with Unitech to buy two office units in this Unitech’s ‘Signature Tower 2’ in Gurgaon. Rahul Gandhi had paid Rs 1.44 crore and Rs 5.36 crore for B-007 & B-008 in this plush tower.

However, strangely, despite what appears to be a property deal between Rahul Gandhi and Unitech, the Congress president was allegedly paid back Rs.2.92 crore by the company as an interest income which increases dramatically and unevenly every year.
