Tamil Nadu Court Acquits Former Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan in Assets Case
A Tamil Nadu court acquitted former minister and DMK leader Anitha Radhakrishnan and six family members in a two-decade-old disproportionate assets case. The court found insufficient evidence to prove allegations of illegal wealth accumulation totaling around Rs 2.08 crore during his tenure as a minister in the AIADMK government between 2001 and 2006. The defence described the case as politically motivated. The ruling ends a long legal battle involving multiple government administrations.
