The CBI will soon send “letter of requests” (LRs) to authorities concerned in Mauritius and Malaysia to get details about certain companies based there in connection with its ongoing probe related to alleged Aircel-Maxis deal. The LRs are likely to be sent by February 20, sources said.

The Aircel-Maxis deal had taken place during the tenure of former communications minister Dayanidhi Maran. The agency has already registered a case against Dayanidhi Maran, his brother Kalanidhi Maran and five others over alleged irregularities in Aircel-Maxis deal. The CBI in its FIR alleged that Mr Maran was involved in “abetting the acceptance of illegal gratification”— -estimated to be worth over `540 crore — from the Malaysian firm. The FIR also accused Maran criminal misconduct during his stint in 2004/7 in the telecom ministry.
Sources said, “The LRs will be sent to Mauritius and Malaysia through diplomatic channel by February 20. The enforcement directorate (ED), which registered a money laundering case against former telecom minister and his brother Kalanidhi in connection with its probe related to Aircel-Maxis deal, is also planning to send separate LRs to Mauritius and Malaysia in this regard”.
