Evidence against Maran, CBI to file FIR soon?

New Delhi: Finding clinching evidence against DMK leader Dayanishi Maran in the Aircel-Maxis deal, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is all set to file an FIR against him and his brother Kalanithi Maran.

It will be the first regular case to be lodged by the CBI as an outcome of its investigations into the alleged irregularities in the spectrum allocation in the pre-A Raja period. At that time the telecom ministry was headed by Maran, Arun Shourie and the late Pramod Mahajan.

Meanwhile, shares of Sun TV, promoted by Maran family, on Thursday fell sharply by over 7 per cent amid concerns emanating from the CBI's submission in the Supreme Court that it has got evidence against Dayanidhi Maran in 2G spectrum scam and will file an FIR against him within a couple of days.
