Tamil Nadu police carried out a series of raids targeting leaders of the DMK party, citing anti-corruption measures that some say may be politically motivated.
On a coordinated day of operations, Tamil Nadu police executed raids on several residences and offices of prominent DMK leaders. The operation was announced as part of an ongoing anti-corruption drive, with officials alleging evidence of financial irregularities linked to the party’s leadership. DMK officials have dismissed the raids as a political vendetta, claiming the state government is targeting opposition figures ahead of upcoming elections. The central anti-corruption agency has yet to release detailed findings, and the raids have sparked debate over the use of law enforcement in politically sensitive contexts. Authorities have stated investigations will continue, while opposition leaders call for a transparent inquiry.
