In another huge blow to the poll-hit DMK, party MP and scion Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi was denied bail and arrested Friday afternoon on charges of taking bribe from 2G spectrum loot.
The special CBI court ordered her "forthwith" arrest and directed her to be present before it at 10 am tomorrow.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had chargesheeted her and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar – also chargesheeted for the same offence – for their alleged involvement in the 2G spectrum scam.
Kumar was also denied bail and jailed along with Kanimozhi.
Kalaignar Tv is owned by the DMK.
Special CBI Judge O P Saini, exclusively trying the 2G spectrum case, pronounced his order on her bail plea, presented with that of Kalaignar TV Managing Director Sharad Kumar.
The court had earlier reserved its order on their bail pleas for May 14, but had further postponed it till today.
