Kanimozhi to stay in jail as SC denies bail

CBI said she might tamper with the evidence

PTI | June 20, 2011



The supreme court has denied bail of DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar in the 2G spectrum case here today.

A bench of justices G S Singhvi and B S Chauhan gave the verdict after hearing arguments for the accused and the CBI for one-and-a-half hour.

During the arguments, counsel for Kanimozhi submitted that she will abide by any condition that may be imposed by the court while granting bail to her. The counsel also said that she should not be deprived of her son's company.

The CBI opposed her plea, saying original documents regarding the illegal financial transaction of Rs 200 crore to DMK chief's family-run Kalaignar TV is yet to be recovered and the accused might tamper with evidence if released on bail.
