A. Raja(Congress-UPA Cabinet
Minister)
Political career: Four-time DMK member of Parliament
(present constituency Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu), former Union Minister of State for
Rural Development (1999) and Health and Family Welfare (2003), former Union
Cabinet Minister for Environment and Forests (2004) and Communication and
Information Technology (2007 and 2009)[31][32][33][34]
Allegation: A joint investigative report by the CBI and the Income
Tax Department alleged that Raja may have received a ?30 billion (US$480
million) bribe for moving the cut-off date for spectrum applications
forward.[35][36] The changed deadline eliminated many applications, enabling
Raja to favour a few applicants.[35][36] The agencies also alleged that he used
accounts in his wife's name in Mauritius and Seychelles banks for the
kickbacks.[37] A CBI charge sheet alleged that Raja conspired with the accused
and arbitrarily refined the first-come, first-served policy to ensure that Swan
and Unitech received licences.[38] Instead of auctioning 2G spectrum, he sold
it at the 2001 rate.[38]
Although the political opposition was demanding his
resignation over the 2G spectrum scam, Raja initially refused to resign, stating
his innocence, and this view was backed by his party president M. Karunanidhi.
Raja and R.K. Chandolia are heard in conversation with Niira
Radia in the released Radia tapes.[29][30][31][32][33]
Sadiq Batcha, a close friend of Batcha, shifted his base to
Chennai from his hometown of Perambalur, after Raja became a central minister
in 2004. He started a real estate firm called Green House Promoters, which had
Raja's nephew Paramesh Kumar as joint managing director and Raja's brother A
Kaliyaperumal and Raja's wife Parameswari as directors. Paramewari resigned the
post on account of investigations. Batcha started another real estate firm in
2008 called Equaas Estates Pvt Ltd, which had Parameswari as a director. The
firm had a turn over of 755 crores in two years, mainly attributed to the
association of Raja. Batcha was put under the CBI scanner during the 2G
Spectrum scam as they believed him to be the conduit for Raja

Controversies[edit]
A woman intern had alleged a recently retired Supreme Court
judge had sexually harassed her.[14] The Supreme Court, then appointed a
three-member committee to probe the allegations and identified A K Ganguly was
the one who harassed her.[15] He repeatedly denied all charges. He was indicted
on 6 December 2013 by the committee, which agreed with the intern's allegation
that he had subjected her to "unwelcome sexual behaviour" in December
2012.[16] He resigned from the West Bengal Human Rights Commission on 6 January
2014 after the Union Cabinet decided to make a Presidential Reference on 2
January 2014 to the Supreme Court for his removal.[17]

Minister Daughter)
Political career: Daughter of five-time Chief Minister of
Tamil Nadu M. Karunanidhi. A DMK member of Parliament, representing Tamil Nadu
in the Rajya Sabha.[48][49]
Allegations: According to the CBI charge sheet, Kanimozhi
owns 20 percent of family-owned Kalaignar TV; her stepmother, Dayalu Ammal,
owns 60 percent of the channel.[50] The CBI alleges that Kanimozhi was the
"active brain" behind the channel[50] and conspired with Raja to
coerce DB Realty cofounder Shahid Balwa to funnel ?2 billion (US$32 million) to
Kalaignar TV.[51] Kanimozhi was in regular contact with Raja about the launch
of Kalaignar TV.[51] Raja advanced the channel's cause, facilitating its
registration with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and adding it to
DTH operator TATA Sky's lineup. Kanimozhi was charged with tax evasion by the
Income Tax Department in Chennai.[51]
Kanimozhi Karunanidhi (born 1968 in Chennai) is a
politician, poet and journalist. She is a Member of Parliament, representing
Tamil Nadu in the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of India's Parliament).[2]
Kanimozhi is the daughter of the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu
Karunanidhi and his third wife Rajathi Ammal.
Pramod Mahajan(BJP Cabinet
Minister)
Although he died in 2006, the CBI included Pramod Mahajan in
a separate column of the charge sheet it would file in connection with alleged
irregularities in
spectrum allocation during the NDA coalition, costing the
exchequer ?
Poonam Mahajan (BJP)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poonam_Mahajan
Following her father's murder in 2006, Poonam Mahajan joined
the BJP as a normal member of the party, with the encouragement of her uncle
Late Gopinath Munde,
himself an ex-Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra state.
Now she's the national secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party
Personal life
She is married to Anand Rao Vejandla, an industrialist from
Hyderabad.
Rahul Mahajhan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul_Mahajan
In July 2006, he got engaged to Shweta Singh whom he knew
for 13 years and were together in flying school in US together and also flew
for the Jet Airways.
In 2009, Mahajan married to Dimpy Mahajan, as the end of
Rahul Ka Swayamwar, a TV reality show which staged a swayamvar for him.
http://currentnews.in/the-slum-route-to-riches/
MUMBAI: The Mahajan name seems
synonymous with scandal. After Rahul Mahajan, son of BJP leader
Pramod Mahajan, hitting headlines with a possible drug habit
and a failed marriage, it is the turn of
Mahajan’s son-in-law, a builder, to be
embroiled in controversy.
A case of forgery and
corruption has been registered against Anand Rao, husband of Pramod Mahajan’s daughter Poonam and nine others,
including two officers of Maharashtra’s Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA).
The case was registered only after court intervention on 2 September 2008, when
the Andheri metropolitan magistrate
asked the cops to probe the matter and submit an investigation report within
two months.
Rahul Mahajan Bussiness deal
with Reliance
http://archives.peoplesdemocracy.in/2005/0213/02132005_surjeet.htm
And now comes to light the fact that one of these three
companies, called Fairever, has been linked to a company that was earlier
called Global e- Secure,
and the latter’s office address was precisely the
Fairever’s address —
at Shriram Mills, Lower Parel, Mumbai. But the key part of the story is that
Global
e-Secure’s managing director, Ashish Deora, is
also the promoter of Indiaonline. And guess who are his co-promoters! None
other than Shri Pramod Mahajan’s
daughter Poonam and his son Rahul Mahajan, now an NRI.
Mahajan’s son-in-law Anand Rao has also been
associated with this company.
The story also reveals the circuitous route these gentlemen
have been using — like all cheaters. (1) Reliance
Infocomm transfers its shares cheaply to three
companies, which are benami companies, and nobody knows
precisely why these pigmy companies were obliged in this manner. (2) One of
these companies is Fairever
whose managing director is, in turn, the promoter of another
company in collaboration (or collusion!) with Pramod Mahajan’s
daughter and son. (3) Two years ago this
second company (Global e-Secure) changed its name to IOL
Broadband Limited, and Rahul Mahajan is actively associated with it, even
though he has no official position
in the company. (4) The website of this company (IOL) does
not give any more details about it, like the company’s
history or the names of its promoters.
AN NRI AND AN NIR
IT is clear that, insofar as the
magnitude of this scam is concerned, the three benami companies that received
the largesse from Reliance Infocomm have pocketed at
least Rs 700 crore in this
dubious manner. This is based on the fact that immediately before the cold war
between the Ambani brothers broke out, Reliance Infocomm
shares were being sold at Rs 700
per share.
Further, it is reported that the
three benami companies were given an equal number of Reliance Infocomm shares.
In that case, it means that the company promoted by
Messrs Poonam Mahajan and Rahul
Mahajan was handed over a largesse of no less than Rs 233 crore 33 lakh 33
thousand 33 rupees and 33 paise .
It is therefore no wonder that people widely regard Mahajan
as the Ambani man, and some media groups have told it in so many words. For
example, Hindi daily Punjab
Kesari (February 7) says that if Reliance transferred one
crore shares to three fake companies, "in this whole affair the ultimate
beneficiary was Pramod Mahajan who
was then the communications minister at the centre. Pramod
Mahajan was known as the Reliance man in the Vajpayee cabinet.
Dayanidhi and Kalanithi Maran
(Cabinet Minister Telecom Minister UPA Govt)
On 6 June 2011 former Aircel chief C. Sivasankaran
complained to the CBI about not receiving a telecom licence and being forced by
telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran to sell
Aircel to the Malaysia-based Maxis Communications group, owned by T. Ananda
Krishnan. The licences were allegedly issued after the deal was made.
Sivasankaran also alleged that
brothers Dayanidhi and Kalanithi Maran received kickbacks in the form of
investments by the Maxis group through the Astro network in Sun TV Network,
owned by the Maran family.[146][147][148] In the wake of the allegations, Maran
resigned on 7 July.[223]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalanithi_Maran
Kalanithi Maran is an Indian media baron who is the chairman
and managing director of Sun Group, which was the most profitable television
network in Asia. In June 2010, he acquired Spice Jet which was the most
profitable airlines in India. Wikipedi
In June 2010, he acquired Spice Jet which was the most
profitable[5] airlines in India. Later on 15th January 2015, he exited from
Spicejet and trasferred the ownership to the original owner Ajay Singh. [6][7]
While his television channels and newspapers are primarily concentrated in
South India, his FM radio stations and DTH service
are spread across the country.
On 14 April 1993, he founded Sun TV with an
investment of US$86,000 from a bank loan
During the CBI probe Sivasankaran said that the Maran
brothers had forced him to sell his 74% share in Aircel to Maxis by threatening
his life, giving the CBI a list of over
10 witnesses. In September 2012, the CBI said it finished its Indian
investigation and was awaiting the response to a letter rogatory sent to
Malaysia and a questionnaire from T.
Ananda Krishnan before filing a chargesheet.[224] On 29 August 2014, the CBI
filed a chargesheet against Dayanidhi Maran,
his brother Kalanithi Maran, Malaysian businessman T Ananda
Krishnan, Malaysian national Augustus Ralph Marshall, six others and four firms
- Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd,
Maxis Communication Berhad, Astro All Asia Network PLC and
South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd as accused in the case.[225] On 29 October
2014, special CBI judge
OP Saini said that he found enough evidence to proceed with
the prosecution and hence summoned former telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran and
others as accused.[226]
Based on the CBI chargesheet, the Enforcement Directorate
(ED) on 1 April 2015, attached Maran brothers' properties worth Rs 742
crore.[227]

Mr. Maran reported at
the CBI headquarters around 11 a.m. and was questioned by the investigating
team till 6.30 p.m. The team sought clarifications from him regarding the
alleged use of 770 high-capacity BSNL lines at his three residences in Chennai
and Delhi,” said an agency official

The
charge-sheet was filed only after 4 years, in 2005. This raised questions as to
the conduct of the government.[10]
P. Chidambaram (Cabinet Minister
UPA Finance Minister )
Subramanian Swamy
alleged that in 2006 a company controlled by Karti
Chidambaram , the son of Minister of Finance P. Chidambaram,
received a five-percent share of Aircel
to get part of ?40 billion paid by Maxis Communications for the 74-percent
share of Aircel. According to Swamy, Chidambaram withheld Foreign Investment
Promotion Board clearance of the deal until his son received
the five-percent share in Siva's company.[228]
The issue was raised a number of times in Parliament by the
opposition, which demanded Chidambaram's resignation.[229]
The Pioneer and India Today reported the existence of
documents showing that Chidambaram
delayed approval of the foreign direct investment proposal by about seven months.

Maxis is a Malaysian company owned by business tycoon T
Ananda Krishnan, popularly known as TAK. He is a Malaysian citizen of Sri
Lankan Tamil origin.
Aircel was first promoted by NRI tycoon C Sivasankaran
(Siva), a native of Tamil Nadu.
In 2006, Maxis took over Aircel by acquiring 74 per cent
shares. The rest (26 percent) is now owned by Indian companies related to the
Apollo Hospital group. These shares are managed by Sunita Reddy, one of Apollo
group founder Dr C Pratap Reddy's daughters.

ET's findings
While we have not
been able to find this precise link, we found that ASC's 2006-07 balancesheet,
under the head 'loans and advances', a payment of Rs 26 lakh is shown as having
been made to Aircel Televenture Ltd. At this point, however, Karti had no
equity stake in Advantage Strategic.
It was solely owned
by Ravi Viswanathan and Padma Viswanathan. The company had business relations
with other companies owned by Karti.
Alongside the payment
to Aircel Televentures, payments made to Karti-owned companies such as Chess
Management Services, Chess Health Care Solutions and Halidon Marketing Pvt Ltd
have also been listed under the same head.

In the cable (revealed by Wikileaks) sent on May 13, 2009,
by Frederick Kaplan, a consular official in Chennai’s
US consulate, Karti got a mention. According to the cable, Karti admitted he
does give “a few sops”
to villages that might be on the fence about supporting his father. The cable
goes on to state that Karti categorically denied paying cash for votes, “but
not because of any moral objection to doing so. He does not pay cash for votes
in his rural constituency because it’s impossible to distribute the money
effectively when villages are spread so far apart”.

The CBI will also analyse a
report on this matter that the Special Fraud Investigation Organisation (SFIO)
had filed last year. In its report, the SFIO had alleged the realty deal between Tatas and
Unitech in 2007 could have been aimed at funding Unitech’s telecom licence.
A senior CBI official said the fresh probe was being initiated because new facts had come to light and it was felt certain matters required more investigation. So far, three charge sheets, including a supplementary one, have been filed in the 2G spectrum scam. If CBI finds any incriminating evidence in the case, it will file a new charge sheet in the matter directly, under the existing first information report.

In October 2011, the CBI
had told a joint parliamentary committee there was no evidence of any
irregularity in the Tata-Unitech deal, adding the matter couldn’t be linked to
the spectrum scam. Earlier, it had asked senior Tata group officials to examine
whether Tata Realty’s Rs 1,700-crore advance to Unitech was for real estate
projects or linked to the 2G licence payments through front companies.

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-did-anil-dhirubhai-ambani-group-adag-officials-try-to-influence-cbi-in-2g-case-2015562
Top officials of the
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) have met Central Bureau of Investigation
(CBI) director Ranjit Sinha at least 50 times in 15 months at his official residence – 2,
Janpath – here in Delhi. This has put Sinha in a spot as he has already
come under scathing attack for allegedly trying to derail the ongoing 2G trial
against Reliance Telecom.
dna has access to the
visitors’ diary at 2, Janpath. Two names are mentioned incompletely in the
diary like Tony, Toni, Toni+Sir, Raman, Setu, Setu Raman and
Toni+Setu. These two officials appear to be Tony Jesudasan, considered to
be the Man Friday of Anil Ambani, and AN Sethuraman. It’s not known if there
are other officials in ADAG with this name, but the cars in which they arrived
at Sinha’s residence are registered in the name of ADAG.
As per details recorded in the register, the two ADAG officials
made the visit in 10 different cars and a random check of four cars revealed
that they have been registered in the name of Reliance ADA Group. For
example, Setu had visited in a car – DL4C-NE-7809 -- registered in the name of
Reliance Infrastructure Limited, 27-BK Road, Delhi. Similarly, another car in
which Tony or Toni frequently came to visit Sinha –DL-2CQ-5868 -- is also
registered with Reliance ADA Group, 27-BK Road, New Delhi. The duo also came in
some other cars --DL4C-AN-4131 and DL-1CP-6732 -- both registered with Reliance
ADA Group, BK Road, New Delhi.
The meetings raise several eyebrows as around the same time in
April, the CBI director had informed then special public prosecutor UU Lalit
that the agency wants to file a separate reply to the petitions filed by six
accused in a 2G case concerning Reliance
ADAG even when the CBI had already filed a consolidated combined reply for all
six accused.
