Indian MP Kanimozhi has been arrested in connection with the country's biggest corruption scandal.
She denies conspiracy and accepting bribes in the alleged mis-selling of telecoms licences, which auditors say cost the country about $40bn (£24.5bn).
A judge in the capital, Delhi, rejected her application for bail and she is due to be produced in court on Saturday.
Ms Kanimozhi, 43, is the daughter of M Karunanidhi, an important ally of the Congress-led federal government.
Her party colleague, former telecoms minister Andimuthu Raja, is already in jail in connection with the scandal. More...

It is surprising to note how bulk of the media is unable to distinguish between an arch Dravidan like Karuna Nidhi or his daughter's view about Diwali as the Northern Aryan festival and their aversion to celebrate the same. It is a different matter that she should have got the bail irrespective of the festival now that the charges are framed and the deferment could be of technical nature. When yhe media is trying to portray itself aS KNOW ALL,CURE ALL PROBLEMS it is sad to see them falter this way.
