A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday rejected the bail pleas of kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV chief Sharad Kumar, named as co-conspirators in the 2G spectrum scam. They are expected to be arrested soon.
Earlier in the day, special CBI judge O.P. Saini said that he would give the order after 1 pm.
CBI had named Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK chief M. Karunanidhi, and Sharad Kumar as co-conspirators in its April 25 supplementary chargesheet after it traced an illegal money trail of Rs.214 crore in the scam.
Kanimozhi, clad in an orange salwar-kurta, looked calm as she entered the Patiala House Court complex accompanied by her husband Aravindan.
After the judge said the order will take some time, Kanimozhi and Kumar looked relieved.
The 2G spectrum scam relates to irregularities in the allocation of airwaves to telecom companies that caused huge losses to the exchequer.
