DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar, accused in the 2G spectrum case, today moved the Supreme Court seeking bail. Kanimozhi, the 43-year-old daughter of DMK chief M Karunanidhi, and Kumar have challenged the Delhi High Court verdict rejecting their bail. The High Court had dismissed the bail pleas of Kanimozhi and Kumar on Wednesday, saying they have strong political connections and the possibility of them influencing witnesses cannot be ruled out. Kanimozhi and Kumar, named as accused in the second charge sheet for allegedly taking bribe of 200 crore rupees, were arrested on May 20 after the special court dismissed their bail pleas in the case.
