The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has again summoned AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran for recording his statement on April 22 in connection with the alleged attempt to bribe an Election Commission (EC) official.
Mr. Dhinakaran was earlier confronted with a “conman”, Sukesh Chandrasekhar, a co-accused in the case.
The ED probe is based on a case registered by the Delhi police, alleging that a conspiracy was hatched to bribe an EC official to secure the AIADMK’s election symbol for Mr. Dhinakaran’s faction ahead of the Chennai’s R.K. Nagar Assembly bypoll in April 2017.
