Former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran has been summoned by a special court hearing Aircel-Maxis deal, as part of the larger 2G spectrum allocation case, to appear before it March 2.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Court Judge O P Saini, after taking cognizance of the charges framed in the case, also summoned Maran's brother Kalanithi, and Malaysian businessman T Ananda Krishnan, among others, as co-accused in the case.
The agency has alleged that Dayanidhi Maran used his influence to help Krishnan buy Aircel by coercing its owner Sivasankaran to part with his stake.
