P Thangamani is the fifth former minister to be searched by DVAC.
Chennai:
At least 14 properties linked to former Tamil Nadu minister P Thangamani in the disproportionate assets case are being raided today. This is the second time this month that properties belonging to the minister were raided, prompting a call for “political vendetta” by his party, the AIADMK.
The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) had last week registered a case of disproportionate assets worth Rs 4.85 crore against the AIADMK leader.
Following this, the agency raided Mr. Thangamani’s properties at more than 60 places including Erode, Namakkal, confiscating unaccounted cash of Rs 2 crore and one kg of gold.
Mr. Thangamani is the fifth former minister to be traced by DVAC.
