New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to file chargesheet against DMK MP Kanimozhi in money laundering case related to the 2g scam, sources told CNN-IBN on Tuesday. The agency, in its chargesheet, is likely to allege that the Rs 200 crore that Kanimozhi allegedly received from Swan Telecom promoter Shahid Usman Balwa is an offence under the Money Laundering Act.
If the chargesheet is filed, Kanimozhi's property could also be attached. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear the plea for exempting Dayalu Ammal, DMK chief M Karunanidhi's wife, from appearing as a prosecution witness in the case.
A special bench headed by Justice GS Singhvi, which monitors all the 2G cases, will hear Dayalu's plea on Wednesday. Dayalu has sought exemption from appearing as a witness in the case on medical grounds. She said that she is suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Dementia, hence cannot travel to Delhi.
