Opposing the bail plea of DMK MP Kanimozhi in the 2G spectrum case, the CBI today told a special court that she controls the affairs of Kalaignar TV which received Rs 200 crore bribe from Dynamix Balwa group, a beneficiary in the scam.

"Controlling mind of Kalaignar TV is Sharad Kumar but behind the scene the person who is controlling everything in Kalaignar TV is this lady (Kanimozhi)," Special public prosecutor UU Lalit told the court.

Appearing before Special CBI Judge OP Saini, the CBI further said that Kanimozhi and her family have got majority stake in the TV, which received Rs 200 crore from the company which got telecom license and spectrum illegally during the tenure of former Telecom Minister A Raja.

Kanimozhi, the 43-year-old daughter of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, appeared before the court along with Sharad Kumar.
