The CBI will give a detailed presentation to Parliament's public accounts committee (PAC) in April on the alleged the second generation mobile spectrum allocation scam detailing the role of different people including DMK MP and Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi who may be questioned very soon.

CBI director AP Singh, who met PAC chairman Murli Manohar Joshi on Thursday, is understood to have informed him that the agency was busy finalising the chargesheet, to be filed by March 31 and a detailed presentation about various facets of the case could be given in April, official sources said.

Joshi had asked the director to give a presentation on the alleged scam.

He has asked him about the strength of the agency and even advised him to get more officers seeing the wide spectrum of corruption cases which have been referred to the CBI.

The agency is likely to question Kanimozhi and corporate lobbyist Nira Radia with whom the DMK leader was allegedly in constant touch with regards to Cabinet formation during 2009.

Singh is understood to have informed Joshi that the chargesheet to be filed before March 31 is likely to carry details of the role of Kanimozhi, they said.

The CBI director had appeared before the PAC last month and told the members it was wrong to say that there was "zero loss" to the national exchequer as a result of the 2G spectrum allocations.

The probe agency had assured the Supreme Court that it would file the first charge sheet about its investigation into the scam that took place during the regime of A Raja by March 31, 2011.
