2G case: Court allows ED to drop Selvi as witness

A special court Tuesday allowed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to drop DMK chief M Karunanidhi’s daughter S Selvi as a prosecution witness in connection with the 2G money laundering case.

The court order comes after ED’s special prosecutor N K Matta contended that the agency does not wish to examine Selvi and T Siva Subramanian as prosecution witnesses in the case. “It is further submitted by N K Matta, special PP, that prosecution does not wish to examine S Selvi and T Siva Subramanian as witnesses in this case.”

Special CBI Judge O P Saini then said “both of them are dropped from the list of witnesses to be examined”.
During the day’s hearing, the court recorded statement of ED’s Assistant Director Kamal Singh which remained inconclusive and would continue Wednesday.
