Delhi court to decide on Raja, Kanimozhi today
New Delhi, Aug 20 (IBNS): Former telecom minister A Raja and DMK parliamentarian Kanimozhi could be arrested on Wednesday afternoon if their bail plea is rejected in a Delhi court, reports said. The duo is attending the hearing.
Both Raja and Kanimozhi were accused of money-laundering in the multi-crore telecom scam in 2008 and had spent time in jail on the basis of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) charges against them.
Kanimozhi’s step-mother Dayalu Ammal, 84, was given bail on Wednesday morning, sources said.
Raja had accepted kickbacks from telecom companies for out-of-turn issuance of mobile network licenses at throwaway prices. Probe by the federal investigating agency revealed that one of the telecom firms had paid about Rs. 200 crores to Raja as a bribe.
The bribe was allegedly routed to a television channel in Chennai, partly owned by Kanimozhi and her step-mother Dayalu Ammal, sources said.
