Kanimozhi to stay in jail

SC adjourns her bail plea in 2G spectrum scam case

GN Bureau | June 9, 2011



DMK MP Kanimozhi will stay in jail till June 30 as supreme court on Monday adjourned her bail plea in the 2G spectrum scam case.

The bench of Justices B S Chauhan and Swatanter Kumar asked the CBI to file a response on Kanimozhi’s bail plea by next Monday. Her bail plea was earlier rejected by the Delhi High Court on June 8. The DMK MP has been charged under Sections 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

Kanimozhi has been accused of lobbying for A Raja to become a union cabinet minister. She is also said to be the brain behind Rs 200 crore which was allegedly given to Kalaignar TV by Cineyug Films.

She was arrested on May 20 after a special Delhi court dismissed her bail plea.

Meanwhile, M K Azhagiri and all the other DMK MPs have set camp in Delhi for Kanimozhi's bail hearing at supreme court. A coterie of 35 relatives and DMK leaders have arrived from Chennai to offer support to the jailed daughter DMK supremo Karunanidhi. A DMK leader said that in case they fail to meet Kanimozhi they will be satisfied with "marking attendance" with her mother Rajathiammal.
