Tamil Nadu vigilance officials today conducted searches at seven premises of former DMK Minister, Mr Pongalur N. Palanisamy, across the state in connection with a disproportionate assets case.
Officials of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption carried out searches at his premises and those of his relatives in Chennai, Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts, police sources said.
Mr Palanisamy, a DMK strongman in Coimbatore district, was the Minister for Rural Industries during the DMK regime between 2006-11.
