2G: Bollywood producer Karim Morani?s bail hearing today

The bail plea hearing of Bollywood producer and Cineyug Films promoter Karim Morani, accused in the 2G scam, was expected to be brought up in a Delhi court on Thursday.

Morani, accused of channeling kickbacks of the massive swindle through his production company, had appeared in the court on Wednesday after his anticipatory bail plea was dismissed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court.

He had been seeking exemptions for the court citing medical grounds after being named in the second indictment on the 2G scam by the CBI.

In perhaps the biggest scam in Independent India, allegedly masterminded by ex-minister A Raja, telecoms spectrum was given away at throwaway prices in 2008 causing a potential revenue loss of up to Rs 1.76 lakh crore.
