The Enforcement Directorate has frozen the property in which a bungalow is being built by V. Ashok Kumar, brother of jailed Tamil Nadu Minister V. Senthilbalaji, at Andankoil East on the Karur-Salem Road, in Karur.
Mr. Ashok Kumar is allegedly constructing the huge bungalow with funds from Mr. Senthilbalaji on the campus, measuring 2.49 acres, where ED officials conducted checks on Wednesday.
The property was registered in the name of Nirmala, wife of Mr. Ashok Kumar, in the documents numbered 7628 and 9645 in 2022 in the Melakarur Sub Registrar Office. It is said that the property was gifted to Ms. Nirmala by her mother Lakshmi, who reportedly purchased it from an individual by clearing a huge sum of loan availed from a city-based bank, sources said.
