2G: Bail for Kani, four others, Behura stays in jail

November 28, 2011 16:00

The Delhi High Court today granted bail to DMK MP and 2G scam accused Kanimozhi and four other accused in the 2G scam.

Kanimozhi's bail hearing was originally scheduled for December 1, but the court agreed to advance it on Thursday after she filed an application in light of the Supreme Court order granting bail to 5 corporate executives who are also accused in the case. However, the court did not grant her bail and the hearing was adjourned to Monday.

Kanimozhi has sought bail on grounds of being a woman with a young child who she needed to take care of.

The others who got bail today include Kalaignar TV chief Sharad Kumar, Cineyug Films' Karim Morani, Kusegaon directors Asif Balwa and Rajeev B Agarwal.

Former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura has been denied bail. All the accused have to furnish two bond sureities of Rs 5 lakh each.
