Police raid former Tamil Nadu minister K.N. Nehru’s residence in cash‑for‑jobs probe

Police officials carried out a search operation at the home of former Tamil Nadu minister K.N. Nehru, along with several other premises linked to him, in connection with a cash‑for‑jobs scandal. The raids were part of a broader investigation aimed at uncovering illegal recruitment practices that allegedly involved monetary payments for government jobs.

Authorities have not disclosed the exact number of properties searched, but the operation focused on Nehru’s primary residence and ancillary locations believed to hold evidence. Investigators are reportedly looking for documents, financial records and any material that could substantiate the alleged scheme.

The probe follows earlier allegations that individuals were offered jobs in exchange for cash, prompting a crackdown by law‑enforcement agencies. Nehru, who served as a minister in the state cabinet, has not publicly commented on the searches.

No arrests have been reported so far, and officials have indicated that further actions will depend on the findings of the search.
