bulbul Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 549 crore bribe??? how they decide this number?? some % ? NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation is poised to file a charge-sheet against DMK leader and former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi for allegedly receiving Rs 549 crore for their role in the acquisition of Aircel by Malaysia-based firm Maxis. CBI sources on Thursday said the agency had questioned Dayanidhi recently, adding that other high-profile connections were also under investigation. CBI has almost concluded investigations in the Aircel-Maxis case and has claimed illegal gratification was accepted by Dayanidhi through Kalanithi in the garb of premium share investment in family-controlled Sun Direct. The agency also claimed that as telecom minister, he blocked the legitimate requests of Dishnet DSL, paving the way for the Maxis takeover. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Marans-got-Rs-550cr-bribe-in-Aircel-Maxis-deal-CBI/articleshow/15175723.cms
CG Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 If cbi is made independent wonder who will run the country as there would be no politicians left.
Mariyam Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 From the article The agency said Dayanidhi delayed grant of licences in seven telecom circles to Aircel and other approvals pending before DoT on "frivolous grounds" with the intention of forcing its exit from the telecom business. Backing Sivasankaran's allegations that he was arm-twisted into selling Aircel to Maxis, CBI said Dayanidhi "rendered disservice to Dishnet (Aircel) paving the way for Maxis to acquire Aircel from Sivasankaran". Wow. Just wow.
Anonymous Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Old news. Aircel's founder has been ranting about this for some time now. It only begs the question, if the DMK with just he Telecom ministry could earn so much (including 2G), just imagine what the Congress Bigwigs would've earned in a decade of governing India?
