New Delhi, May 20 (ANI): A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday denied bail to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) lawmaker Kanimozhi in the 2G spectrum case.
She is likely to be taken into custody. The court also rejected the bail plea of Kalaignar TV Managing Director Sharad Kumar in connection with the case.
The CBI, which is looking into the 2G scam, had earlier opposed Kanimozhi's bail plea, saying she was aware of all irregularities.
The agency also claimed that Kanimozhi lobbied for A Raja to become a Union Cabinet minister.
The CBI also argued that Asif Balwa, who is the director of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd was the front man in the entire scam.
The agency further presented before the court, details of the Rs 200 crore transactions by the Kalaignar TV.
The CBI said that a total number of 16 bank accounts were used in the transactions. The money first came from DB Realty to Kusegaon. It then went to Cineyug Film Company from where it was routed to Kalaignar TV.
She has been named as co-conspirator in CBI's second chargesheet in the scam.
Kanimozhi, 43, has been charged under Sections 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The chargesheet said the investigation into the case disclosed that money had travelled from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV.
The supplementary chargesheet filed by the investigating agency has also named as co-accused Sharad Kumar of Kalaignar TV, Karim Morani of Cineyug Films, and Asif Balwa and Rajiv B Agarwal of Kusegaon Realty.
The others, who have been arrested so far in connection with this case are former Telecom Minister A Raja, his personal secretary RK Chandolia and former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behuria. (ANI)
