New Delhi: DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar applied for bail in a special CBI court at Patiala House in the 2G spectrum scam. Both Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar have been lodged in Tihar jail since May 20.
Both Kanimozhi and Sharad Kumar have applied for bail on the grounds that charges have not yet been framed and will be framed and they should be granted bail as per the Supreme Court order.
The bail plea will come up for hearing on October 1.
Kanimozhi and Kumar, named as accused in the second chargesheet for allegedly taking bribe of Rs 200 crore, were arrested on May 20 after the special court dismissed their bail pleas in the case.
Both Kanimozhi and Kumar have 20 per cent stake each in Kalaignar TV Pvt Ltd, which allegedly received Rs 200 crore through a "circuitous" route from Shahid Balwa promoted DB Realty.
DMK chief and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi's wife Dayalu Ammal, who has been left out of the list of accused, owns the remaining 60 per cent shares in the channel.
Kanimozhi and Kumar had moved the high court on May 23 challenging the trial court's order which had rejected their bail pleas, saying the offence attributed to them was grave and the possibility of influencing the witnesses cannot be ruled out.
