After Senthil Balaji, ED has taken action against one more minister of the Tamil Nadu government. Explain that on Monday, the ED raided the premises of Tamil Nadu government minister K Ponmudi and his MP son Gautam Sigamani. This raid was done in a money laundering case. The ED raided the premises of the minister and his MP son in Chennai and Villupuram.

 

Meanwhile, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) leader K. Ponmudi was brought to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Chennai on Monday night. ED officials take Ponmudi to office after raids in money laundering case related to illegal sand mining. Ponmudi was brought to the ED office in Chennai amid the security of central forces and was questioned for eight hours. The ED has summoned Minister Ponmudi for questioning again at the agency's office at 4 pm on Tuesday.

 

what is the matter?

Tamil Nadu government minister K Ponmudi has been accused of violating mining license conditions when he was the mining minister between 2007 and 2011. Due to this, the government exchequer suffered a loss of about 28 crores. In this case, the ED has now taken action against Ponmudi and his MP son Sigamani.

 

K Ponmudi is the Minister of Higher Education in the Government of Tamil Nadu. As per media reports, the ED raided nine locations in K Ponmudi. Apart from K Ponmudi, the premises of his relatives and friends were also raided. The 72-year-old minister is the MLA from Tirukkoyilur seat in Villupuram district and his son Sigamani is the MP from Kallakuruchi seat. Let us tell you that the state police had lodged a complaint of corruption against K Ponmudi. The minister had approached the Madras High Court against this but the Madras High Court refused to stay the action. The minister is alleged to have obtained mining licenses for his son and other family members. Along with this, the licensees were also allowed to do mining over the prescribed limit. The DMK, on the other hand, termed the ED's action as politically motivated and said that they are not afraid of it.

 

Stalin told the drama

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK Chief MK Stalin termed the ED's action against his government's minister as a drama. He said that 'recently two cases against Ponmudi were dismissed. He will also face this matter legally. This raid against the opposition meeting is a strategy of distribution. The Governor is already doing election propaganda and now the ED is also doing the same. It's making things easier for us. This is a drama being done by them (BJP).

 

ED takes action against another minister of the Tamil Nadu government

Let us tell you that recently the ED had also taken action against the Transport Minister of the Tamil Nadu Government, Senthil Balaji. This action was also taken in the money laundering case. After the action, Senthil Balaji was arrested by the ED. Balaji is currently in ED custody.
