Tamilnadu Minister Senthilbalaji, arrested in job-for-scam case by ED and languishing in Puzhal prison, has been admitted to Stanley Government hospital after he complained of chest pain today.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had arrested Balaji on June 14 under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case dating back to 2014, when he was the transport minister under the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) government. The minister was hospitalised since his arrest and underwent a heart surgery at a private hospital, before being shifted to the Central Puzhal Prison. Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has backed him and Chief minister M K Stalin has retained Balaji in the cabinet where he continues as a minister without a portfolio.
