3 probed in telecoms scandal
INDIAN federal police said yesterday they are formally investigating a former telecoms minister, his media mogul brother and a Malaysian tycoon over a sprawling telecoms scandal that has damaged the government.
Police have raided the homes of former minister Dayanidhi Maran - the second former telecoms minister to be probed - and his brother, television network owner Kalanithi Maran, searching for documents related to the 2006 sale of Indian phone company Aircel to Malaysian telecoms firm Maxis .
"There is a case of abuse of official position and abetment for illegal gratification, bribes and illegal payment of money during his tenure as telecom minister," said a spokeswoman for the Indian federal police, known as the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The case also names Malaysian Ananda Krishnan, owner of Maxis. Sun Network owner Kalanithi Mara is alleged to have taken bribes from Maxis.
