Accused Seek Bail in TVK MLA Bribery Case as Senthilbalaji Under Inquiry
Two accused in the alleged bribery case involving Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) MLAs have sought bail in the Madras High Court after being denied by a lower court amid ongoing investigations into large Hawala transactions. Former DMK Minister and Coimbatore South MLA V. Senthilbalaji and his brother appeared for police inquiry under court-ordered conditions following allegations that they masterminded attempts to poach TVK MLAs with bribes. Police continue to investigate the case, which has led to multiple arrests.
