Cuddalore, July 18:
Officials from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) conducted a raid early this morning at the residence of former AIADMK MLA Sathya Panneerselvam in Cuddalore.
Sathya Panneerselvam served as the MLA for the Panruti constituency from 2016 to 2021. During this period, the DVAC registered a case against her for allegedly accumulating assets disproportionate to her known sources of income.
In addition, her husband Panneerselvam, who had served as the Chairman of the Municipal Council, was also booked in a separate corruption case.
Earlier in February this year, DVAC officials had carried out searches at her house and several other properties linked to her in Panruti.
Now, in a follow-up to the ongoing investigation, DVAC officials resumed raids at her residence early this morning. The search is currently underway
