Raja Gave 2G Licences To Firms For Rs 200Cr: Ed

[manjunath455]

NEW DELHI: Enforcement Directorate told a special court on Monday that former telecom minister and DMK member A Raja "illegally" granted 2G spectrum licences to ineligible firms in exchange for a payment of Rs 200 crore to Kalaignar TV, owned by party chief M Karunanidhi's family.

ED made the submissions while commencing final arguments in a 2G scam-related money laundering case, terming it a conspiracy hatched by Raja and the other accused and saying the Rs 200 crore were the "proceeds of crime".

Special public prosecutor Anand Grover alleged that the amount was transferred to Kalaignar TV through various firms and returned only when Raja was called by the CBI for questioning in the case.



"Kalaignar TV was owned by Kanimozhi (Karunanidhi's daughter and DMK MP) and Dayalu Ammal (the DMK chief's wife), who are both related to DMK supremo M Karunanidhi and Raja also belonged to the same party," Grover told Special CBI judge O P Saini.

The arguments on Monday remained inconclusive and will continue on July 27. Raja, Kanimozhi, Dayalu Ammal and 16 others, including nine firms, are facing trial in the case.

On April 25 last year, ED had filed a chargesheet against the accused for alleged offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). On October 31 the same year, the court framed charges against the accused for their involvement in "parking illegal gratification" of Rs 200 crore in Kalaignar TV.



This is the second case in the 2G spectrum allocation scam in which Raja, Kanimozhi and others are facing trial. They are also accused of criminal breach of trust, conspiracy, forgery and cheating, among other charges.
