[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]As cameras clicked away, Raja, who walked out of prison Tuesday evening after 15 months, did not respond to questions from the media. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Giving him bail, the court had said that he could not visit his former office, the department of telecommunications, or his home state Tamil Nadu without permission.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Raja resigned as minister Nov 14, 2010 after the Comptroller and Auditor General reported that his 2008 decision to allocate 2G spectrum on a first-come-first-served basis had caused the exchequer a presumptive loss of Rs.1.76 lakh crore. The CBI arrested him Feb 2, 2011.[/font]
