Kanimozhi, the Rajya Sabha member and DMK chief M Karunanidhi's daughter, who is currently in Tihar jail facing corruption charges in 2G scam, was denied bail yesterday by the Special CBI Court. The Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK) has decided to appeal to the High Court for 2G accused Kanimozhi on Friday.

Kanimozhi and seven other were denied bail by the Special CBI Court on Thursday on two main accounts - possibility of the accused tampering with evidence and the seriousness of the offence. DMK leader Khusboo said that the party was filing for Kanimozhi's bail in the High Court on Friday. "We are filing for Kanimozhi's bail tomorrow in the high court. But looking at the argument it seems as though except for Mr Jethmalani or Mr Sundaram everybody has come to a conclusion that they are guilty. But we know they are innocent till proven guilty. So why the branding of white collared criminals?" Khusboo said on Thursday.
