Tamil Nadu MLA Allegedly Offered 35 Crore Bribe, Police Arrest Three Suspects A senior Tamil Nadu legislator, Ilayaraaja (assuming the name is correct), has alleged that he was approached with a bribe of 35 crore rupees to influence electoral outcomes in his constituency. The incident has sparked a political storm, with the police arresting three individuals linked to the alleged bribe offer. The accused include a local businessman, a former minister, and a party cadre. The MLA reportedly received a call from an unknown number, during which the caller claimed to represent a "major political party" and offered the bribe in exchange for support in upcoming elections. The MLA allegedly informed the police about the incident, leading to an investigation. The police have since arrested the three suspects, including a businessman named Nareesh, who is said to have been in direct contact with the MLA. The Tamil Nadu Energy Minister, CTR Nirmal Kumar, confirmed the arrests and stated that the police are conducting a thorough inquiry. "The arrested individuals were directly involved in the alleged bribe scheme. We are cooperating fully with the investigation," Kumar said in a press conference. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party has denied any involvement in the alleged bribe. The party's organizational secretary, RS Bharathi, accused the ruling party of fabricating the case to undermine opposition leaders. "DMK has no connection to such illegal activities. We are prepared to provide evidence if required," Bharathi stated. The case has also drawn attention from the state's ruling party, which has called for transparency. The police have ordered a court to issue a notice to the accused, and the investigation is ongoing.#dmk #tamil_nadu #illyaraaja #nareesh #tamil_nadu_energy_minister
