New Delhi, May 20: Kanimozhi, DMK MP and Karunanidhi’s daughter, was today arrested and sent to Tihar jail by a Delhi court which dismissed her bail plea in the 2G spectrum scam, saying there was a possibility of witnesses being influenced considering the “magnitude” of the crime.
The 43-year-old daughter of Karunanidhi’s second wife Rajathi, was shocked on hearing the order pronounced by Special CBI judge O P Saini but maintained her calm in the court.
However, tears welled up in her eyes when she was taken to the court lock-up by police personnel.
Clad in an orange salwar suit, she was later driven in a Delhi police van to Tihar prison where she will be lodged in jail no 6. Former Telecom Minister A Raja is already lodged in Tihar.
