DMK has planned to meet to assess the situation and take a further legal course. Kani is taken the jail number 6 on Tihar jail. She will have to summon before Patiala Court every day from now.
Raja and Kanimozhi.
……
Talking to Press,Karunanidhi said that he was as ‘Unhappy as any of those present , whose daughter has been arrested for a crime she did not commit’.(no father would have encouraged a daughter to behave like this and- ‘not committed any crime?)
The legal wife of Karunanidhi ,son M.K.Stalin and another son Azhagiri are reported to have told him not to have anything to do with Kanimozhi.
A movement which is supposed to be built (imaginary,of course) on Self-respect(as if others have none) has hocked the innocent ,hardworking party workers and the party to the whims of a Family.
Let us wait for the further humiliation of the party at the general Council meet-whether the party will be forsaken for the daughter or not?
Excellent is the coverage of SUN TV and Kalaignar TV on the arrest of Kanimozhi.
While SUN did not utter a single sentence, Kalaignar TV telecast Karunanidhi’s Press meet where the above comments of Karunanidhi.
Kalaignar TV also stated that Kanimozhi was arrested despite Kalaignar TV having repaid the 214 Crore!
The party general council will meet on the continuation of the alliance with Congress.( any choice?)

CBI’s 14 Reasons.
The key reasons cited by the CBI are:
* Once CBI registered its 2G FIR, the kickback of Rs 200 crore paid to Kalaignar TV was refunded. “In fact, the date December 23, 2010, when the refund of the amount started, coincides with the date when A Raja was summoned to CBI office,” CBI said.
*Even though funds from Kusegaon Fruits & Vegetables were transferred to Cineyug Films in December 2008, the agreement between the two companies for shareholding and subscription only came into existence after registration of the FIR and CBI had carried out searches on various premises.
*The two companies — Cineyug Films and Kalaignar TV — have failed to produce the original shares subscription and shareholder agreement between them. Only a photocopy of the agreement was given to the agency and it is not on a stamp paper and hence not enforceable in law.
*Cineyug Films paid Rs 25 crore to Kalaignar TV till March 31, 2009 claiming that the money was transacted for the purpose of acquiring equity of Kalaignar TV. However, in the balance sheet of Kalaignar TV dated March 31, 2009, no application for shareholding by Cineyug was mentioned against the money. One year later, in the balance sheet dated March 31, 2010, the amount was regrouped as unsecured loan and a figure of Rs 25 crore was shown in this head as on March 31, 2009. The CBI claims that in October 2009, the investigations were started and hence the regrouping of the amount as a loan was “clearly an act of window dressing and an afterthought”.
* Kusegaon Fruits & Vegetables has claimed that it had no formal agreement with Dynamix Realty for a loan of Rs 209.25 crore.
It is informed that she is being given cell with bath attached and TV.

DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV MD and CEO Sharad Kumar have been arrested in the 2G spectrum scam case. A Special Central Bureau of Investigating (CBI) court dismissed the bail petition of Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar in the case on Friday following which they were taken into custody.
While rejecting their bail petition Judge OP Saini ordered their “forthwith” arrest and directed the duo to appear before it at 10 am on Saturday. Kanimozhi and Kumar will be lodged in Delhi’s Tihar jail.
She hugged her husband Aravindan and was in tears before being arrested. A Raja‘s wife MA Parameshwari also walked upto her and comforted her. She also sought permission from the court to get her reading glasses, books and medicines.
DMK leaders, including its parliamentary party chief T R Baalu, was present in the court. Minutes after the court pronounced its order, three DMK MPs broke down while others were seen making frantic calls.
New Delhi, May 10: It seems that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi‘s own kin has played the role of Bibhishan (In the Ramayana, Ravana‘s brother Bibhishan ditched the Lanka king and helped Rama in the war to rescue Sita) to nail down the CM’s daughter Kanimozhi.
….43-year-old Kanimozhi, a Rajya Sabha MP, claimed that she wasn’t involved in the Kalaignar TV‘s “day-to-day affairs”. During the court proceedings, Kanimozhi, who holds 20 percent stake in the TV channel, said, “I was not involved with the day-to-day affairs of the channel. I did not sign any document to facilitate the transfer of the alleged bribe of Rs 200 crore from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV. I never attended a single board meeting of the channel. (Channel CEO Sharad) Kumar chaired all the meetings and he was signatory to all the agreements.”
….However, claiming Karunanidhi’s daughter’s statement a sham, his nephew P Amirtham informed, “Kanimozhi was a founder-director of Kalaignar TV. She resigned on Jun 20, 2007, from the board because the necessary clearances from the ministry of home affairs (because she is an MP) were delayed. Nevertheless, she used to take keen interest in day-to-day affairs of the company.”
The CBI said that a total number of 16 bank accounts were used in the transactions. The money first came from DB Realty to Kusegaon. It then went to Cineyug Film Company from where it was routed to Kalaignar TV.
Kanimozhi was summoned by the special court along with four others on Friday, which had on April 25, taken cognizance of CBI’s second chargesheet, discussing their roles in the massive scam.
She has been named as co-conspirator in CBI”s second chargesheet in the scam.
Kanimozhi, 43, has been charged under Sections 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The chargesheet said the investigation into the case disclosed that money had travelled from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV.
The supplementary chargesheet filed by the investigating agency has also named as co-accused Sharad Kumar of Kalaignar TV, Karim Morani of Cineyug Films, and Asif Balwa and Rajiv B Agarwal of Kusegaon Realty.
Ruling on Kanimozhi’s Bail application posted to 13 May 2011.

New Delhi: Some of the most dramatic testimony against A Raja in his trial for India’s largest-ever scam will come by Aseervatham Achary, who worked as Mr Raja’s Additional Private Secretary in the Telecom Ministry.
Mr Raja, who is from the DMK, is now in jail for criminal conspiracy and forgery – he is accused of selling valuable spectrum and mobile network licenses for a pittance to companies in 2008 that were ineligible.
As Mr Raja’s trial begins in Delhi, Mr Achary will serve as a star witness for the CBI, which is investigating the 2G spectrum scam. Along with six others, Mr Achary has been given special protection – given the powerful personalities involved with the 2G trial, the safety of witnesses has been cited as a concern.
NDTV has access to the statement given by Mr Achary in a Delhi court – it details Mr Raja’s relationships with some of those who allegedly colluded with him, including the owners or promoters or some of the companies he allegedly favoured – like Unitech Wireless‘ Sanjay Chandra and Swan Telecom‘s Shahid Balwa. ( Read entire statement)
Mr Balwa is now in jail for routing a Rs. 200 crore kickback to Mr Raja via a television channel in Chennai owned partly by Kanimozhi, whose father, M Karunanidhi, heads the DMK. Mr Achary says that ‘Kanimozhi made frequent visits to A Raja’s office’ and that ‘Kanimozhi was an active brain behind Kalaignar TV.’That could be damaging for Kanimozhi, who when interrogated by the CBI, suggested that she is not actively involved with Kalaignar TV’s operations, and that financial and other decisions about Kalaignar TV were made by the channel’s executives. http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/confessions-of-a-rajas-former-secretary-98010?cp
