Opposing the bail plea of DMK MP Kanimozhi in the 2G spectrum case, the CBI on Saturday told a special court that she controls the affairs of Kalaignar TV which received Rs 200 crore bribe from Dynamix Balwa group, a beneficiary in the scam.


"Controlling mind of Kalaignar TV is Sharad Kumar but behind the scene the person who is controlling everything in Kalaignar TV is this lady (Kanimozhi)," Special public prosecutor U U Lalit told the court.
