Tightening the noose around DMK leader Kanimozhi in the 2G spectrum scam, the CBI today questioned a Malaysia-based NRI and a chartered accountant -- considered close to former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi's family, just days ahead of an expected decision on her bail application.

Malaysia-based Sarvanan and Chartered Accountant Ratnam were questioned for nearly six hours by the officials about the deal related to a plot of land in Chennai which was estimated to be worth Rs 200 crore but was sold at Rs 25 crore to a business man from Malaysia, agency sources said.
