A day after the DMK staged a state-wide protest against the AIADMK regime’s drive against land grabbing cases that has targeted the opposition party, Chennai city police arrested a former MLA and his aide for appropriating a piece of land worth crores of rupees after forging documents and intimidating the owners.
In the latest in a series of arrests of DMK men, B Ranganathan, a three-time MLA, was arrested with his close aide Venkatesh alias Gowri Shankar on Tuesday after people complained to the police that the politician and his alleged benami usurped their two acres of land. The plot in Chennai suburbs was bought by a group of 120 persons in 1994. In 2008, they found that the property had changed hands.
