Chennai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) authorities on Wednesday conducted raids at the residence of expelled AIADMK Leader and former Tamil Nadu Minister R Vaithilingam in an alleged disproportionate assets case during his tenure as Minister during the 2011-16 AIADMK regime.

The raids were on at Mr Vaithilingam house near Orathanad in Thanjavur district of the state.

The raids were also on at his room in the MLA hostel in Chennai city.

Mr Vaithilingam has thrown his weight behind former Chief Minister O.Paneerselvam after the AIADMK split in 2017 after the death of party Supremo J Jayalalithaa. Since then he has been with Mr Panneerselvam.

Later, both of them expelled from AIADMK at the party’s General Council in 2022. He was elected to the State Assembly from Orathanad in the 2021 assembly polls for the fourth time. He had earlier won from the seat thrice in succession in 2001, 2006 and 2011.
