New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday named five more people, including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi, as the co-accused in the case involving the awarding of second generation (2G) phone spectrum.
The supplementary charge sheet, the second thus far, filed by the agency in a special court here also names Sharad Kumar of Kalaignar TV, Karim Morani of Cineyug Films, and Asif Balwa and Rajiv B. Agarwal of Kusegaon Realty as co-accused.
Kanimozhi refused to comment on the developments.
Dayalu Ammal, wife of Karunanidhi and stepmother of Rajya Sabha member Kanimozhi, does not figure in the charges filed yesterday as speculated by a section of the media.

Later, five more corporate executives were added to the list of accused — Vinod Goenka of Swan Telecom, Sanjay Chandra of Unitech and three officials of the Anil Ambani Group: Gautam Doshi, Hari Nair and Surendra Pipara. All nine are in judicial custody.
