Cong TN unit hail verdict discharging Maran brothers

Congress' Tamil Nadu unit today 'welcomed' Maran brothers being discharged in the Aircel-Maxis deal cases, saying they have come out as 'innocent'.

"I greet Dayanidhi Maran and Kalanithi Maran who have come out as innocent due to this verdict," TNCC President Su Thirunavukkarasar said in a statement.

He 'welcomed' them being discharged from the cases, Thirunavukkarasar said.

In a relief to former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his industrialist brother Kalanithi Maran, a Delhi court had yesterday discharged them and others in the Aircel-Maxis deal cases of CBI and ED, saying the charges were based on "misreading of official files", speculation and surmises of the complainant.
