27 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Seeking clean-chit, the tainted DMK MP Kanimozhi had moved to High Court on March 23 and the court has now asked the investigating agency to file its response. Justice M L Mehta asked the CBI to file its response by May 10.

According to her lawyer Ram Jethmalani, Kanimozhi has been falsely implicated in the scam and there is no evidence to justify the charges against her. Kanimozhi’s petition said 'Set aside/quash the charges and also quash the chargesheet filed by the CBI and all the proceedings emanating thereunder.'

Kanimozhi, the daughter of DMK chief and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi, was accused for criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, forgery, accepting a bribe and abetting bribery in the infamous 2G scam. Along with former telecom minister A Raja and other accused she was also lodged in Tihar jail, however, released on bail in November 2011. The court had evidence proving Kanimozhi had received Rs 200 crore via DMK mouthpiece Kalaignar TV which was a bribe from the Shahid Balwa-owned DB Realty in return for a 2G licence.
