Enough material to chargesheet Marans: AG tells CBI on Aircel-Maxis case
"With his advice Rohatgi has overruled CBI director Ranjit Sinha who felt there wasn't sufficient prosecutable evidence to book Maran. Sources said Rohatgi perused the record and found there was enough material to show there was culpability and conspiracy to show Maran had forced Aircel owner Sivasankaran to sell his entire stake in the company to Malaysian businessman T Ananda Krishnan. CBI has said Maran forced the deal and entered into a quid-pro arrangement with Krishnan," Hindustan Times reported.
In its FIR in 2011, the CBI had alleged that Dayanidhi Maran had forced Sivasankaran to sell his entire stake in Aircel to Ananda Krishnan.
Maxis, which is the company owned by the Malaysian businessmanm in return invested Rs. 650 crores in Sun TV network.
The Sun TV Network is run by the Marans.
