Information has emerged that Ashok, the brother of Senthil Balaji, who has been in hiding for eight months, visited the house in Karur. Officials from the Enforcement Directorate are conducting investigations and surveillance in Karur. Last year, on June 14th, Minister Senthil Balaji was arrested by ED officials. At that time, due to chest pain, he was admitted to a hospital.
During the medical examination, blockages were found in four arteries of his heart. Following this, he was transferred to a private hospital, where he underwent treatment to clear the blockages. After a few days of treatment, he was shifted to a prison cell. He has been in the prison cell for the past 250 days. The reason for Senthil Balaji’s arrest was his brother Ashok.
In a corruption case related to the transport department, Minister Senthil Balaji was accused of embezzlement and arrested. As a result, Ashok Kumar, his brother, became a witness. Despite being a witness, he did not become accused. Ashok Kumar revealed his chest pain, and through the intervention of his lawyer, he responded to everyone’s questions.
In a situation where Ashok is hiding, it is difficult to determine his whereabouts. Due to Ashok’s hiding, there is trouble obtaining the Jammin for Senthil Balaji. Unable to go to his house for Diwali and Pongal, Senthil Balaji is spending his time in the prison cell.
In Ram Nagar, a part of the Karur-Namakkal highway, Ashok Kumar, brother of Minister Senthil Balaji, is constructing a new modern complex in the name of his wife. On May 26th, 2023, officials from the Income Tax Department, including Minister Senthil Balaji, his brother Ashok Kumar, and their relatives, friends, and Aadhaar holders, conducted a search at their residences.
At that time, investigations were also conducted into the new complex being constructed by Ashok Kumar in Ram Nagar. Furthermore, notices were issued to clarify the connection between Ashok Kumar’s income department office and his arrest. So far, Ashok Kumar has been silent on why he visited Karur eight months ago. Today, officials from the ED conducted investigations following the information revealed about his visit.
At present, Ashok Kumar is residing at the residence of Senthil Balaji’s parents in Karur, where officials from the ED department are conducting investigations. Officials from the ED have visited the CCTV footage from the house. Senthil Balaji has been in the prison cell for the past eight months. He remains in hiding as Ashok continues to remain silent. Today, the ED officials are conducting further investigations. Where is Ashok? Why did he come to Karur? These are the questions that remain unanswered by the officials of the ED.
