The chargesheet adds charges under Section 7 and 11 of the Prevention of Corruption Act versus A Raja and Kanimozhi for receiving bribes and Vinod Goenka and Shahid Balwa under Section 12 for paying bribes.The bureau has alleged that Dynamix took Rs 140 crore and DB Realty Rs 102 crore loans from IL&FS. It also states that Rs 200 crore has been paid as bribe to Kalaigar TV, which was transferred during eight months (December 23, 2008 to August, 2009) in 20 tranches.
