In the 2G spectrum allocation scam, Dayanidhi Maran the former Union Minister will be filed an FIR by CBI, the Central Bureau of Investigation. The CBI told the media that FIR process will be carried out very soon.
The charges against Dayanidhi Maran would be finalized by 30th September, the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
The allegations against Maran were those of threatening Aircel owner C Sivasankarn to sell his 74% stake to Maxis group of Malaysia. Later Maran was forced to resign as Union Minister of Textiles.
Maran is the former telecom minister. The CBI told the Supreme Court that “it had completed the preliminary inquiry into Dayanidhi Maran’s role in the 2G spectrum allocation scam” and an FIR against him would be filed within a few days.
A status report was submitted by the counsel of the agency. It was without making any reference to Chidambaram who was, in 2008, the finance minister.
"Aircel’s owner Sivasankaran had been writing to Maran to resolve the issue, but nothing actually moved. Feeling harassed, Sivasankaran was forced into selling Aircel at a discounted price. In March 2006, Maxis group owned by Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan bought 74% stake in Aircel. The company got FIPB approval in May 2006," it said.
The petitioner alleges as, "In November 2006, DoT issued 14 LoIs to Aircel, and all of them were converted into licenses in December 2006. Within three months of this, Maran’s family owned business (Sun TV) received substantial investment from Maxis group (Aircel) by taking just 20% equity in Sun Direct which had not much business at that time.”
