A court here today issued a warrant for release of 6 accused in 2G spectrum allocation scam, including DMK MP Ms Kanimozhi.
Besides Ms Kanimozhi, those for whom the release warrant was issued are Kalaignar TV MD, Mr Sharad Kumar, Swan Telecom promoter, Mr Shahid Usman Balwa, Bollywood filmmaker Mr Karim Morani and Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd directors Mr Rajiv Aggarwal and Mr Asif Balwa. All of them are lodged in Tihar jail.
Although the accused were granted bail by the Delhi High Court yesterday, they could furnish their bail bond before Special CBI Judge, Mr O.P. Saini, only today.
Earlier in the day, the court granted bail to Mr Shahid Balwa after the CBI chose not to oppose his plea in the wake of the Supreme Court and the Delhi High Court orders granting bail to other co-accused.
