Enforcement Directorate summons DMK MP Kathir Anand in money laundering case

The case stems from an Income Tax prosecution complaint of 2019 over tax evasion, in which a huge cash seizure (Rs 11.48 crore) took place from spots linked to Anand.

Probe agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP and son of Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan, Kathir Anand, to appear before it on Tuesday in connection with a money laundering case.

The case stems from an Income Tax prosecution complaint of 2019 over tax evasion, in which a huge cash seizure (Rs 11.48 crore) took place from spots linked to Anand.

This money was seized from Vellore district a few days before the 2019 general elections and the Election Commission had countermanded elections in the constituency following the money seizure.
