Breaking news coming in close on the heels of the enforcement directorate slapping a money laundering case against the Marans. Sun TV boss Kalanidhi Maran has quietly left for Rome along with his wife Kaveri on a chartered flight. Kalanidhi's exit has come just 2 days after the ED charged Kalanidhi and his brother former Union Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran of laundering 550 crore rupees in kickbacks in the Aircel-Maxis deal.
