'Mannargudi Mafia'? In Raids In TTV Dinakaran Case, Links To His Village | Read

To prove that TTV Dinakaran, who was sidelined as the No 2 of Tamil Nadu's ruling party ten days ago, illicitly transferred crores to Delhi to buy the party symbol, the Delhi Police is in Chennai and this morning searched the home of a retired government officer who belongs to the village of Mannargudi. Mr Dinakaran and his relatives are referred to disparagingly as the Mannargudi Mafia, owing to their provenance and their alleged anchoring of various scams over the years, which has been linked to their political proximity to former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who died in December.
