Telephone exchange scam: SC directs Maran to appear before CBI

The Supreme Court directed former union telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran to appear before the CBI for seven days beginning on November 30 for questioning in connection with the telephone exchange scam.

The apex court, however, made it clear that there shall not be any custodial interrogation of Maran. He has been accused of installing 323 telephone lines at his Chennai residence which were allegedly used by his Sun TV.
