New Delhi: The crackdown on DMK continues in Tamil Nadu as vigilance and anti-corruption bureau teams on Thursday raided DMK leader TM Anbarasan's properties. Anbarasan, a former minister, is also a district secretary for the DMK.
TM Anbarasan is the ninth DMK leader to be targeted since July this year.
The vigilance officials on Tuesday conducted raids at properties of former DMK minister K Ponmudi and his relatives. The raids were carried out at 15 places in Chennai and Villupuram.
This came after complaints of disproportionate assets against the DMK leader, who arrested on August 31 on charges of land grab. He was later refused bail by the Madras High Court.
The leader has been accused of allegedly misusing his position to secure land belonging to a state transport corporation society for an educational trust, in which his mother-in-law is a trustee.
The DVAC had on September 27 raided the premises of K Ponmudi, now in jail, in Chennai, Villupuram and Puducherry on "specific information" that he had allegedly accumulated assets disproportionate to his known sources of income when he was the Higher Education Minister in the previous DMK regime.
Ponmudi was arrested in Chennai on August 31 in a land grabbing case.
Former ministers Veerapandi S Arumugam, K N Nehru and N K K P Raja were also arrested on land grabbing charges in the crackdown launched by the Jayalalithaa Government on land grabbing.
