Maran brothers battle for control of Sun TV
Family drama just got real for the Marans—Dayanidhi Maran, ex-Union Minister and DMK leader, has sent a legal notice to his brother Kalanithi over their ₹24,000 crore Sun TV Network.
Dayanidhi claims Kalanithi grabbed extra shares after their dad passed away in 2003, sparking a major fallout in one of India's biggest media families.
Dayanidhi asks for probe into alleged fraud
Dayanidhi says Kalanithi (along with his wife, Kavery) allotted shares to himself without proper checks and mishandled company finances. He's now asking for a government probe into possible fraud.
Sun TV denies any wrongdoing and calls the reports misleading.
The company's stock dropped 1.8% after news broke, while DMK is keeping out of what it sees as a family issue.
