Chennai, April 28 -- : In a significant victory for the ruling DMK days ahead of the counting of votes in this assembly election, Madras High Court on Tuesday quashed a money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against senior DMK minister I Periyasamy.
It is a big setback for the central agency and a big relief for the DMK veteran from the case pertaining to allotment of prime housing plots in Chennai and the allottees included retired IPS officer MS Jaffer Sait and his wife M Pravin, among others during the then Karunanidhi government. Now, Periyasamy is Minister for Rural Development in the Stalin government.
