DMK MP, Mr J.K. Ritheesh Kumar, was today arrested in a land grabbing case.
Mr Ritheesh, elected to Lok Sabha from Ramanathapuram, was arrested following a complaint from Mr Samikannu of Pappangudi village in Kancheepuram district, a police source in land grabbing cell told PTI.
In his complaint, Mr Samikannu alleged that his 1.47 acres of land was grabbed by Mr Ritheesh using forged documents. Mr Ritheesh, a first time MP, is a party strongman in Ramanathapuram.
After coming to power in May, the Tamil Nadu Government has launched a crackdown on land grabbing, putting several DMK leaders, including some MLAs and former ministers, in jail.
The DMK has alleged that the government’s action smacks of political vendetta.
