The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches on Tuesday against Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V Senthilbalaji and some others regarding a money laundering investigation. The raids were carried out at Balaji’s residence and office at the Secretariat in the state capital and his native Karur. Officials also conducted searches at the minister’s government residence in Chennai, RA Puram, and Abhiramapuram. Last month, the Supreme Court allowed a police and ED probe into an alleged cash-for-jobs scam against Balaji, who also holds the Prohibition and Excise portfolio. The Income-tax department also searched people close to Balaji in the state. Balaji has said he is ready to extend full cooperation to the investigating agency. In front of the minister’s house on the Chennai Greenway road, 20 paramilitary personnel were assembled.
