Stay on scam-accused Dayanidhi Maran's arrest till September 14

August 12, 2015 11:26

The Supreme Court has stayed the Madras High Court order cancelling Dayanidhi Maran's anticipatory bail. The next hearing is on September 14. Which means the former telecom minister has been granted protection from arrest till September 14.

Maran is facing arrest in the illegal telephone exchange case after the Madras high court on Monday cancelled the anticipatory bail granted to him on June 30 and directed him to surrender before CBI by August 13.

The CBI's case is that Maran, during his tenure as Union minister from 2004 to 2007, availed himself of several hundred telephone and broadband lines, and established a mini telephone exchange at his house in Chennai. He used the facilities for transporting data for Sun TV, owned by his brother Kalanithi Maran, it was alleged.
