New Delhi: The CBI said that it has so far found no evidence that Dayanidhi Maran misused his office to ensure that Aircel was sold by its owner to an entrepreneur who was close to Mr Maran and his brother, Kalanidhi.

Earlier, Maran had to resign as Union textiles minister in July after C Sivasankaran, who owned Aircel in 2006, complained against him and the CBI began investigating tha matter.

Sivasankaran has said that Maran refused to sanction him licenses critical for expanding his business, which forced him to sell his company.

During the last hearing on August 24, the CBI had informed the court that it has completed its probe in the multi-crore scam in which chargesheet has been filed by it against 17 persons including A Raja. (Agencies)
