‘It must be ensured that he doesn’t destroy documents’
The Makkal Needhi Maiam on Monday demanded the immediate arrest of former Local Administration Minister and AIADMK leader, S.P. Velumani, on corruption charges. The DVAC conducted searches at various premises linked to Mr. Velumani based on the evidence exposed by Arappor Iyakkam, but no action had so far been taken, said MNM’s State secretary Senthil Arumugam. “As per the FIR filed by the DVAC and the evidence that has been exposed, the corruption committed by Mr. Velumani appears to be out of the ordinary. From the same IP address, certain companies were awarded the tenders and companies owned by those close to him experienced ‘monstrous’ growth,” he said.
