IT raids at over 50 locations of real estate company related to TN CM Stalin

Chennai: The Income Tax department is conducting raids at more than 50 places on the premises of G-Square relations, a real estate company allegedly closely related to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and his family members.

Income Tax sleuths are conducting raids and searches in the premises of Stalin's son-in-law Sabareesan's auditors residence as well.

The Tamil Nadu BJP president, K. Annamalai had a few days back released the 'DMK files', in which he has alleged that Stalin's son and current Minister, Udayanidhi Stalin, and his son-in-law Sabareesan had generated income much above their known sources of income.

Annamalai said that this was just part one. The DMK Files contained details about properties allegedly owned by DMK family members, ministers, MLAs, and MPs.

There were allegations that G-Square had received unhindered support when Stalin was Deputy Chief Minister in his father Karunanidhi's Cabinet.

Annamalai has charged that his allegations of money swindling was not only of the present DMK government but also during the period of M. Karunanidhi.

G Square Realtors is a private company incorporated on October 12, 2012, and has been classified as a non-government company and registered at the Registrar of Companies, Chennai. The company was earlier raided by the Income Tax Department in 2019.

The company has been mired in political controversy. The BJP has accused the top Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) of helping the real estate company grow in the state.
