Court orders Kanimozhi's arrest
A Delhi court on Friday ordered "forthwith" arrest of DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar after rejecting their bail pleas in the 2G spectrum case.
"The bail applications are dismissed. Both the accused be taken into custody forthwith," Special CBI Judge O P Saini said.
The court directed that 43-year-old Kanimozhi and Kumar should be produced before it at 10 am on Saturday, when the case comes up for hearing.
The DMK MP, wearing an orange salwar suit, looked stunned after the CBI judge pronounced his order and was consoled by her family members, including her husband Aravindan.
DMK leaders, including its parliamentary party chief T R Baalu, was present in the court.
Minutes after the court pronounced its order, some of DMK supporters broke down while others were seen making frantic calls.
