DVAC Searches Former Tamil Nadu Minister KN Nehru’s Residence in Tiruchirappalli

TIRUCHIRAPPALLI: The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) conducted searches at the residence of former Tamil Nadu minister K.N. Nehru in Tiruchirappalli on Saturday.

The search operation was carried out at Nehru’s residence in the city’s Thillai Nagar area. The development comes amid an ongoing corruption-related investigation involving the senior DMK leader.

As news of the searches spread, a large number of DMK party workers gathered outside the residence. Their presence drew attention to the ongoing vigilance operation.

Former Tamil Nadu minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi also visited the location while DVAC officials were conducting the searches.

Investigation Background

The latest searches come against the backdrop of corruption allegations linked to the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MAWS) Department.

The Enforcement Directorate had earlier sent material to Tamil Nadu authorities seeking action over alleged irregularities. The matter subsequently became the subject of a DVAC investigation.

In June 2026, the Tamil Nadu government informed the Madras High Court that a DVAC FIR had been registered in connection with an alleged cash-for-jobs case involving appointments in the MAWS Department.

Nehru has been a prominent DMK leader and represents the Tiruchirappalli West Assembly constituency. He has also served as Tamil Nadu’s Municipal Administration Minister.

The latest search operation is part of an ongoing investigation. Allegations under investigation should not be treated as established guilt unless proved through due legal process.
