1. ED seeks permission to assist DVAC in case against Fisheries Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan
After pursuing corruption cases against Ministers V. Senthilbalaji and K. Ponmudy, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), insisted before the Thoothukudi Principal District Court on assisting the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) in a disproportionate assets case pending against Fisheries Minister Anitha R. Radhakrishnan.
Appearing before the lower court in Thoothukudi, the Special Public Prosecutor for the ED recalled that the case against Mr. Radhakrishnan was registered by the DVAC in September 2006. He was accused of amassing wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income, when he served as the Minister for Housing during the 2001-2006 AIADMK regime.
