DMK chief M Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi tonight left for Delhi to appear before a court there which will pronounce its verdict on her bail plea in connection with 2G spectrum allocation scam in which she has been named as a co-conspirator by the CBI.


Reacting to reporters' queries on her party's defeat in the elections, she said DMK accepted it as people's verdict and said her father and party leader Karunanidhi will decide on the road ahead.


The 43 year-old Rajya Sabha member is a minority stakeholder in Kalaignar TV which is under the scanner for transaction of Rs200 crore money from Shahid Balwa-owned DB Realty to her television channel.


Balwa is a co-accused in the case along with former telecom minister A Raja. Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar were questioned by Income Tax authorities on May 12 in connection with the transaction.


A Delhi court had allowed them exemption from personal appearance even as it is slated to pronounce its verdict on their bail plea tomorrow.


They had already appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED)in Delhi in connection with the 2G spectrum case. ED had summoned them for questioning on transfer of Rs200 crore to Kalaignar TV in which they hold 20% stake each.

Karunanidhi's wife Dayaluammal, who has been named witness in CBI's supplementary chargesheet, holds 60% stake in Kalaignar TV.
