Chennai: The Directorate of Vigilance and
Anti-Corruption Thursday carried out raids at the residence of former Tamil Nadu Minister T M Anbarasan at Kundrathur near here in connection with a disproportionate assets complaint,
police said.
Anbarasan was the Labour Minister in the previous DMK government.
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.
