A special court here on Monday summoned Tamil Nadu chief minister M. Karunanidhi's daughter and DMK MP Kanimozhi and four others to appear before it on May 6 as accused in 2G spectrum case saying "there is enough incriminating material on record" to proceed against them.
The court issued summons also to Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar, Karim Morani, director of Cineyug Media and Entertainment (Pvt) Ltd, who are named as accused, for May 6. The three have not been arrested so far.
"There is enough incriminating material on record to proceed against the accused persons," special judge O.P. Saini said.
The investigating agency, however, has not namedKarunanidhi's wife Dayaluammal, whose name had figured in the 2G probe, as the accused in the supplementary chargesheet.
The court's summons came after CBI filed the second chargesheet in the 2G spectrum case on Monday.
The court also directed CBI to produce the Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa's cousin Asif Balwa and Rajeev Agarwal, directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd, who have been chargsheeted along with Kanimozhi and were in judicial cutody, on Tuesday.
CBI has charged Kanimozhi with having entered into a criminal conspiracy with the other accused under the Indian Penal Code and also under section 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act which deals with acceptance of alleged gratification.
The chargesheet said the investigation into the case disclosed that money had travelled from DB Realty to Kalaignar TV.
Kanimozhi, Dayaluammal and Sharad Kumar, Managing Director of Kalaignar TV, have 20, 60 and 20 per cent shares in the channel.
