Kanimozhi arrives in Chennai

After being released from jail, DMK chief M Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi finally reached Chennai on Saturday.

The DMK MP reached Chennai at around 1:30 pm. Karunanidhi received her at the airport.

Apart from Karunanidhi, other members of the DMK first family - like MK Stalin, his sister and his mother - and hundreds of DMK supporters were also present at the airport to welcome Kanimozhi.

Kanimozhi walked out of the Tihar Jail on November 29 after the Delhi High Court granted her bail.

She was arrested on May 20 for her alleged role in the telecom scam.

After four earlier unsuccessful attempts, she was granted bail by the Delhi High Court.

Her party, the DMK, is already suggesting that Kanimozhi be conferred with some sort of martyr status.

Kanimozhi is accused of allowing a TV channel co-owned by her to serve as the landing place for a 214-crore kickback that was paid to her partyman, A Raja, when he was Telecom Minister.

Fourteen people including Kanimozhi are on trial for the telecom scam.

12 people have so far been released on bail.

DMK supporters showered her with flower petals when she arrived at Chennai airpot.

She was welcomed by DMK Chief Karunanidhi, M K Stalin and family at the airport.

Supporters waived flags and shouted slogans in her support when she reached the Chennai airport.

Hundreds of DMK cadres were present at Chennai airport.
