ED Raids TN Minister Periyasamy, DMK MLA Senthil Kumar’s Premises in Chennai, Dindigul Under PMLA

The Enforcement Directorate is probing Rs 2.1 crore in disproportionate assets linked to Periyasamy and family, following a Madras High Court order to expedite charges and trial.

  • On August 16, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate raided properties linked to DMK MLA Senthil Kumar and Minister Periyasamy in Chennai and Dindigul under PMLA.
  • Prompted by an April court order, the ED raids on I. Periyasamy and family follow a Madras High Court directive to frame charges over alleged Rs 2.1 crore disproportionate assets acquired during 2006–10.
  • About a dozen ED officials arrived in three teams at around 7.30 a.m. to search premises in Durairaj Nagar, Vallalar Nagar and Seelapadi, secured by armed CRPF and police.
  • Soon, political circles in Tamil Nadu were closely watching developments and neither Periyasamy nor the DMK have issued any comment, as local DMK cadres gathered near Greenways Road.
  • The Supreme Court stayed the probe in May, and a family appeal is set for hearing on August 18.
