Vellore: Enforcement officials have confiscated ₹13.07 crore from Kingston College of Engineering and ₹75 lakh from the residence of DMK MP Kathir Anand, son of Tamil Nadu Minister Duraimurugan, during a 44-hour raid.

Kathir Anand, the DMK MP representing the Vellore constituency and son of DMK General Secretary and Minister Duraimurugan, faces allegations of illegal money transfers.

The enforcement authorities carried out extensive raids at his residence in Gandhi Nagar and his Kingston College of Engineering, uncovering large sums of unaccounted cash.

The confiscated amounts include ₹13.07 crore from the college and ₹75 lakh from his residence.

In addition to cash, officials seized property-related documents and digital records. The investigation stems from a previous election-related incident in 2019 when ₹11 crore was found in a warehouse linked to an associate of Duraimurugan, allegedly intended for voter bribery.

Kathir Anand had declared assets worth ₹88.80 crore in 2019, including properties in the names of his wife and children.

However, officials claim the value of his family's assets has significantly increased since then.

A summons has been issued to Kathir Anand to appear for questioning at the Enforcement Department office in Chennai today, where he is expected to clarify the source of the seized money.
