Former central telecom minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and seven others, who are accused of money laundering in the 2G spectrum allocation case, on Monday moved their bail application in a court in New Delhi.

DMK chief M Karunanidhi’s wife Dayalu Ammal, who is another accused in the case, did not appear before the court and sought exemption from personal appearance as she is not in a “fit mental condition”. Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge O P Saini allowed Dayalu Ammal’s plea for exemption.

Raja, Kanimozhi, Swan telecom promoters Shahid Usman Balwa and Vinod Goenka, Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt. Ltd. (KFVPL) directors Asif Balwa and Rajiv Agarwal, Bollywood producer Karim Morani, Kalaignar TV director Sharad Kumar and P Amirthan appeared before the court in pursuance of summons issued against them on May 2.
