Hansraj Saxena, the former COO of Sun Pictures has said that the telephone exchange at the Maran residence existed. Saxena, one of the Sun TV employees questioned in the case by CBI, has already given his statement to the CBI in the case. Saxena now says that one portion of the illegal telephone exchange operated out of his home on College road in Chennai. Saxena, also a former Vice-President of programming at Sun TV in 2007 who went on to become the COO of Sun Pictures was one amongst many grilled by the CBI last year in connection to the case. Speaking to The News Minute in a telephonic conversation from Singapore he admitted that the illegal BSNL telephone exchange did exist at the Maran residence. The exchange was divided into three parts as I know. A portion of it was in Dayanidhi Marans house. There was one portion at the Sun TV office and a third portion was at the residence of then Sun TV COO Sharad Kumars house. In 2007, when Sharad had a fall out with the Marans and went ahead to start Kalaignar TV, that portion was shifted to my house. I have told the CBI this. I am in Singapore for my treatment, or may have been arrested along with the others, Saxena claims. Courtesy thenewsminute
