With the deadline for filing chargesheet in the 2G spectrum case nearing, the CBI is expected to soon question DMK MP K Kanimozhi and corporate lobbyist Niira Radia, on the role played by Radia in clinching a deal between Tata Realty and Unitech
The CBI is also preparing a list of all ineligible telecom companies which had got the licences in 2008, besides scrutinising the papers of a deal between Tata Realty and Unitech, agency sources said.
The CBI is also looking into the merger of eight different companies of Unitech, which are alleged to have merged all their licenses and got a waiver of the mandatory three-year lock-in-period for selling their shares, the sources said. They said the agency would be questioning Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK chief and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, soon.
The CBI has claimed it had found a money trail of Rs 214 crore of funding to Kalaignar TV, a regional channel operational mainly in Tamil Nadu in which Karunanidhi's family members allegedly have a majority stake, by DB Realty. Efforts to seek Kanimozhi's reaction did not fructify and there was no reply even to SMSs sent to her.
