Chennai: Member of Parliament (MP) and senior DMK leader S Jagathrakshakan appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning over an allegedly money laundering case Friday.
Sources said he was quizzed for nearly seven hours by officials of ED in their office in the city.
Along with Jagathrakshakan, some of his associates are also under ED’s scanner.
Inquiries about the case are underway. It is said that the Arakkonam MP was asked to appear for questioning regarding a property he had brought and the officials suspect that a huge amount of money laundering took place in the deal.
It may be noted that in 2019, he was under an inquiry by the Crime Brach-CID in a land grabbing case.
The case was registered in 2016 and came up for investigation following a Madras High Court order.
Jagathrakshakan is also a leading businessman with interests in education, hospitality and other sectors and an author.
