New Delhi: A special court has allowed Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader Kanimozhi, an accused in the 2G spectrum allocation case, to travel abroad for five days this month. As such, there is no material on record to apprehend that she may misuse the liberty of travelling abroad, if granted to her. Moreover, the foreign travel to be undertaken by her is not a private visit, but part of official delegation...,” the court said. Besides Kanimozhi, former telecom minister A. Raja and former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura are also accused along with 14 others in the 2G spectrum case. All the accused, who are out on bail, have denied the allegations levelled against them by the CBI.
