Telecom operators Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have reported record losses for the quarter ended September 30 after they made heavy provisions for outstanding government dues, arising from a Supreme Court verdict on annual gross revenue.

The CBI on Friday conducted raids at the Amnesty International India's Bengaluru and Delhi offices.

A day after Vodafone Idea reported a net loss of Rs 50,921 crore, the company’s management addressed analysts to give a comprehensive perspective on the numbers, the impact of the AGR order and the way forward. In a frank and candid commentary to an analyst question on discussions with the government, the CEO Ravinder Takkar said that they have been engaging with the government even before the SC AGR verdict.
