A special CBI court Thursday acquitted all the accused in the high-profile 2G spectrum allocation scam.

Those acquitted include former telecom minister A. Raja and DMK MP Kanimozhi.

The explosive report by the Vinod Rai-led Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), which brought the scam to light, held A. Raja responsible for flouting rules, practising favouritism and causing the government a presumptive loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore.

Here is a list of the key politicians, bureaucrats, executives and corporate leaders who were accused in the case and sent to jail.

Each of them were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act, among others.
