2G: CBI may name Kanimozhi in 2nd chargesheet

CBI may name Kanimozhi and Dayalu Ammal for allegedly getting benefits out of the 2G allocation.

New Delhi: The CBI, in its second charge
sheet likely to be filed on Monday, may name Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister M Karunanidhi`s daughter Kanimozhi, wife Dayalu Ammal
and several others for allegedly getting benefits out of the
allocation of 2G spectrum to certain telecom firms.

The charge sheet to be filed in the court of Special
CBI Judge O P Saini may give details as to how over Rs 200
crore was illegally routed by jailed former Telecom Minister A
Raja, his slain aide Sadiq Batcha and Shahid Usman Balwa, the
former Managing Director of DB Realty to DMK-owned Kalaignar
TV, jointly owned by Kanimozhi, Dayalu Ammal and Sharad Kumar.
Kanimozhi, Dayalu Ammal and Kumar, Managing Director
of the TV, have 20, 60 and 20 per cent shares in the channel
respectively.

The CBI had earlier told the court that Rs 200 crore
connected with the 2G spectrum scam had travelled from a
partnership firm of Balwa to Kalaignar TV.
The agency had said the money travelled through a
"circuitous route" through Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt
Ltd, a DB group company and Cineyug Films Pvt Ltd.

"Investigations have also revealed that in furtherance
of the conspiracy, Dynamix Realty, a partnership firm of DB
Realty Ltd and other DB group companies, paid Rs 200 crore to
Kalaignar TV Pvt Ltd during December 2008 to August 2009,
following a circuitous route through Kusegaon Fruits and
Vegetables Pvt Ltd and Cineyug Films Pvt Ltd (DB group holds
49 per cent equity in it)," CBI said in its first charge sheet
filed on April 2.

Besides, the second charge sheet may also throw some
light on the role of Batcha who died in mysterious
circumstances last month.

Names of Asif Balwa, cousin of Shahid Balwa, and
Rajeev Agarwal, Directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables
Pvt Ltd, who are presently in judicial custody, are also
expected in the supplementary charge sheet.

Raja and eight others, including former telecom
secretary Siddharth Behura and three telecom companies were on
April 2 indicted in the 2G spectrum allocation scam by CBI,
which pegged the loss to the exchequer at Rs 30,984 crore.

The first chargesheet has named Behura, Raja`s former
PS R K Chandolia, Unitech MD Sanjay Chandra, Swan Telecom
promoters Shahid Balwa and Vinod Goenka, Reliance ADA group`s
Gautam Doshi, Surendra Pipara and Hari Nair, Reliance Telecom,
Unitech Wireless and Swan Telecom.

The CBI has informed the Supreme Court that the
supplementary chargesheet will be filed before April 25 in the
special court of Justice O P Saini and the probe in the case
will be completed by May 31.
