New Delhi, June 09: Rajathi Ammal, mother of jailed Rajya Sabha DMK MP Kanimozhi, wore a dejected look and was in tears in the open court as Justice Ajit Bharihoke of the Delhi high court on Wednesday rejected her daughter’s bail plea.
The court also dismissed the bail plea of Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar, who are in jail in connection with the 2G spectrum scam.
The single judge bench of Justice Ajit Bharihoke said: “The petitioners are involved in corruption and gratification of Rs 200 crore to their Kalaignar TV. Therefore their bail is dismissed.”
The court added: “There is sufficient prima facie evidence on record, therefore they can’t be granted bail.”
Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK chief M Karunanidhi, and Kumar have been in the Tihar Jail since May 20 when a special Central Bureau of Investigation court dismissed their bail pleas.
