The Supreme Court has issued notices to the
CBI and BSNL on a PIL alleging misuse of public
office by former telecom minister Dayanidhi
Maran. The petition alleges that Maran had set
up a BSNL exchange in Chennai for his personal
use and routed the lines to Sun TV offices.
Incidentally, Sun TV is owned by Dayanidhi's
brother Kalanithi. The PIL also seeks an
investigation against Maran. In 2007, the CBI's
Chennai branch had drafted a note saying that
the lines originally meant for his residential
address were used by the Sun TV Network,
causing huge losses to the central government.
