CHENNAI: A private company group managing director charged the DMK chief M Karunanidhi, DMK treasurer MK Stalin and several others with usurping properties worth Rs 300 crore belonging to his family and his community.
Speaking to reporters, NS Arumugam, managing director, NSA Group of Companies, charged that his prime property in Koyambedu 100 Feet Road and Coffee Estate in Kodaikanal - both worth Rs 50 crore - were usurped by DMK bigwigs including MLA KC Palanichamy.
In addition, Arumagam charged that similar properties belonging to him located in Bangalore worth Rs 100 crore and a couple of other properties belonging to his community in Chennai and Tiruchy which are worth another 150 crore were also usurped.
Arumugam claimed that he had been persistently troubled by the DMK men and was subjected to several severe assaults. He also claimed that around 10 cases were filed against 150 complaints lodged with the police; however, no action has been taken thus far. “My life is under threat. I have pleaded with Stalin to let us live peacefully and my wife even prayed to them to part with any of our property in reciprocation,” Arumugam told the media. Arumugam has also filed a petition before the City Police Commissioner in this regard.
