Ex-DMK Min Thangam Thennarasu raided; DVAC snoops residence

Madurai, Feb 15: The Directorate of Vigilance and anti-corruption has struck again and is carrying out raids in the residence and properties of former DMK minister Thangam Thennarasu. He served as the School Education Minister during the DMK regime. According to reports the raids are being carried out at 6 places across Tamil Nadu on his properties.

The raids were connected to the disproportionate assets case slapped in the Minister's name. He has now been booked under the Corruption Act. With the AIADMK rule in the state, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is making sure to cause maximum trouble to former DMK Ministers and party members. The fact only validated by the fact that Thennarasu is the 12th DMK leader to be targeted since the AIADMK came to power in 2011.

More details awaited.
