DMK supremo Mr. Karunanidhi's daughter and DMK Rajya Sabha MP Kanomozhi spent her first night in Tihar jail without any huzzle-buzzle and media frenzy that she has been exposed to since her name surfaced in 2G Spectrum scam. Kanimozhi is lodged in jail number 6 (women's cell) and ward number 8 in Tihar Jail. Her new neighbours include Madhuri Gupta - a former Indian diplomat charged with spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Sharda Jain, a murder accused.
Inside her independent jail cell devoid of an AC or even a cooler, Kanimozhi ate home-cooked food that she had got with herself and slept at 11.30 pm. On Saturday morning, she got up at 5.30 am and this time, there was no home-cooked food but jail breakfast for her. She had two slices of bread with aaloo sabzi and left for the court at 9:30 am.
On Friday, the Delhi court hearing the 2G case rejected Kanimozhi's bail application and ordered her immediate arrest. She has been chargesheeted by the CBI for allegedly conspiring with former Telecom Minister A Raja and accepting a Rs. 214-crore bribe that was a part of India's largest swindle, the 2G scam. A Raja, her party MP and Dalit leader, has been in Tihar Jail since February for allegedly planning and executing the 2G scam when he was Telecom Minister in 2008.
