Sleuths of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) conducted raids at the residences of former DMK MLA and a relative of a former Minister in Namakkal on Thursday (October 29, 2026).

The DVAC has been conducting raids at multiple locations across the state in connection with former Minister K. N. Nehru. On Thursday, around 7 a.m., a ten-member team of DVAC officials went to former DMK MLA Ramalingam’s house at MGR Nagar on Mohanur Road in Namakkal and searched his house. The officials also questioned Mr. Ramalingam. After seven hours of searching, the DVAC officials left around 2 p.m.

Likewise, DVAC officials visited the home of Durai, a relative of Mr. Nehru, at Kalaivani Nagar on Paramathi Road, but the house was locked. The officials contacted Durai by phone; he is currently abroad and assured them that he would cooperate after returning home on November 13. Later, the DVAC officials pasted a notice on the door and left.
