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]

M. K. Kanimozhi(UPA Cabinet 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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversy_of_arrests_in_Tamil_Nadu_about_construction_of_flyovers

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.

Rather, Karti has dabbled in many things including businesses. He runs a legal consulting firm called Chess Management Services (his profile mentions a bachelor's in business administration from the University of Texas and a bachelor's in law from Cambridge University). He is also the vice-president of the All India Tennis Association as well as the chief patron of the All India Karate-Do Federation

Karti once started a public opinion forum called Karuthu (Tamil for opinion) with Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK leader M Karunanidhi

In the 2011 Assembly elections, Congress was part of a comprehensive alliance led by the DMK

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.

Media role-

Main article: Radia tapes controversy

OPEN and Outlook reported that journalists Barkha Dutt (editor of NDTV) and Vir Sanghvi (editorial director of the Hindustan Times) knew that corporate lobbyist

Nira Radia influenced Raja's appointment as telecom minister,[85] publicising Radia's phone conversations with Dutt and Sanghvi[86][87] when Radia's phone was

tapped by the Income Tax Department. According to critics, Dutt and Sanghvi knew about the link between the government and the media industry but delayed reporting

the corruption.[85]

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.
