Court summons Raja, Kanimozhi, Dayalu Ammal in 2G-related case
03 May 2014
A trial court in Delhi on Friday summoned former telecom minister A Raja, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal, their daughter Kanimozhi, and 17 others to appear before it on 26 May in connection with a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the 2G spectrum scam .
The court summoned the 19 accused after taking cognizance of the chargesheet, saying there was "enough incriminating material" on record to proceed against them.
Since the accused have been charged under sections of the stringent Prevention of Money Laundering Ac, they are expected to move anticipatory bail pleas, as they stand a strong chance of being arrested.
The ED had filed its chargesheet against the accused, including 10 individuals and nine firms, on 25 April in the case.
The accused have been charged in connection with the allegedly illegal transfer of Rs200 crore to the DMK-run Kalaignar TV in return for favours granted by Raja to some telecom companies.
