ED had earlier told the court that their probe into the case emanates from the 2G scam and these accused had allegedly conspired and committed the scheduled offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The agency had claimed that the transaction of Rs 200 crore, which was allegedly paid to DMK-run Kalaignar TV, was "not genuine" and it was a "bribe for grant of telecom licences to DB Group companies".
